How Meidas Helped Nurses Stand Up to Trump and RFK

Hi, I’m Justin Gill, an urgent care nurse practitioner in Seattle, Washington, and a proud member of the Core Leadership Team for Nurses for America (NFA). I wanted to thank Ben Meiselas and the MeidasTouch Network for the opportunity to contribute to this Substack post.

I want to talk about something that has shaken the healthcare and nursing communities to their core: the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). I wanted to share with the Meidas Mighty how Ben Meiselas and the MeidasTouch Network helped our organization fight back!

On December 6th, I had the opportunity to join Ben Meiselas for an interview to discuss the Nurses for America statement opposing RFK Jr.’s nomination and our ongoing campaign to gather signatures. I reached out to Ben Meiselas on social media, not expecting he would actually get back to me. But within 30 minutes of my message, Ben called me right away and offered to help me and the nurses I represent however he could. Ben set up an interview with me to discuss the threats posed by Trump and RFK Jr. to nurses.

Since the interview was published, we have seen a significant surge in support thanks to MeidasTouch, with our signature count now exceeding 1,000.
