The American Nurses Association (ANA) is leading the fight for nurses. We are making sure that the issues facing nurses are front and center! Whether you are a new advocate who has never contacted your elected officials or an outspoken activist who has been active on nursing issues for years ANAPOLITICALPOWER.ORG will help make sure your voice heard. What is ANA is doing for YOU?

New! ANA has launched a web site dedicated to the issue of safe staffing. This site educates nurses about ANA's history of advocacy on the issue, provides updates on the newest information and developments, and gives nurses tools to get involved. Join ANA's Safe Staffing Campaign!

ANA proudly introduces its Election 2008 Action Center - a one-stop resource where nurses can learn about the candidates running for the White House, the candidates’ responses to ANA’s presidential endorsement questionnaire, the electoral process and more! Let's make sure nurses are heard on November 4, 2008!

Show your political muscle and Take Action! Who better to advocate to Congress about quality patient care, adequate staffing and safe workplaces than those who are on the front lines?

Check out ANA’s Federal Government Affairs section to track Federal legislation, learn about the latest issues facing the nursing profession, and view ANA’s 2007-2008 Legislative Initiatives.  Whether it’s before the U.S. Congress, Federal Agencies, or the Administration, you can be sure ANA is on top of it.

Are you concerned about what is happening in your state? The State Government Affairs program monitors over 1,000 nursing and health care related bills introduced in state legislatures across the country.

Explore the RN Activist Tool Kit to find the tools you need to effectively take action on the issues you care about, both with your elected officials and in your community.
