Countdown to Event:

Use our new Letters to the Editor Guide which provides information on how to craft a strong letter to the editor. We want as many people as possible to write letters and send them to their local media publications, explaining why these new reforms are so necessary. Easily send your letter to multiple local and national media outlets by using our online tool.

It’s time to raise resident voices and make sure they’re heard! During Social Media Week, we are encouraging residents and family members to speak about understaffing.  Create a video of a resident in a nursing home explaining in their own words – “What does it mean when there aren’t enough staff?” See a sample of a resident clip here. Then post the video to your social media on Thursday, March 24th for our social media storm. Participate using the hashtags below, and use our toolkit for sample tweets and graphics. Post on Twitter and Facebook on March 24th and throughout the month of March!

Use hashtags: #MarchForthWithResidents  #UnderstaffingIsNeglect

This is a great way to send a powerful message with resident voices at the forefront!

The nursing home plan set out by the Biden Administration is a huge victory and a great step forward, but we’re not done! We need to see these reforms implemented! During the last week of March, we’ll reach out to Congress to make sure they stay engaged on these issues and realize the battle is ongoing! Use our online tool to send a message to your members of Congress.

We are excited to have you join us for our month of action and for everyone to stay engaged throughout the month as we work to make positive change for nursing home residents. Let’s March Forth Together!
