Call HPNA 412-787-9301 . Dial ‘5’ for the executive offices, and ask Holly to convey your request they rescind their Presidential Citation awarded to the senior senator from Maine, a republican, who has so far done nothing more than issue a toothless letter. Letters don’t change policy. Collins must endorse and co-sponsor S.3036 if she wants to keep this award.

“The American Nurses Association (ANA) adamantly opposes the Administration's policy and practices toward migrants and asylum seekers that result in the forcible separation of children from their families. These actions put the welfare of immigrant children at risk and are causing irreparable harm, such as, negative physical and emotional symptoms from separation and detention, including anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. ... The Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements (ANA, 2015) calls on all nurses to always act to preserve the human rights of vulnerable groups such as children, women and refugees. … We cannot continue with a policy that is so immoral and cruel to children and families.”
“Nursing is intelligent caring.” Anne Kibrick

Genocide is the deliberate destruction, in whole or in part, by a government or its agents, of a racial, sexual, religious, tribal or political minority. It can involve not only mass murder, but also starvation, forced deportation, and political, economic and biological subjugation. Genocide involves three major components: ideology, technology, and bureaucracy/organization.
