Rebecca Love and Marion Leary talk about why it is vitally important for nurses to vote and be civically engaged. They discuss their fears for the upcoming 2024 Presidential election, why they strongly oppose a Trump presidency, and some of the troubling policies Trump has laid out in his Project 2025 plan (www.project2025.org).
