NUHW: Sanctuary For All
The National Union of Healthcare Workers is a sanctuary union, committed to fighting for equitable access to quality health care for everyone, regardless of immigration status, gender identity or expression, sexuality, or political beliefs.
Read NUHW’s “Sanctuary for All” resolution. First declared in 2017, we updated our resolution in 2025 in light of the Trump Administration’s attacks on immigrants, transgender, and LGBQT+ people.
