Time Sensitive: Ask Your Senators to Support Title VIII Funding by Signing a Senate Dear Colleague Letter
Dear AACN Advocate:

Senate Nursing Caucus Co-Chair Senator Merkley (D-OR) is currently circulating a Dear Colleague Letter urging the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (LHHS-ED) to provide the Title VIII Nursing Workforce Development Programs with $610 million for Fiscal Year (FY) 2027. The deadline for your Senators to sign onto the Senate Dear Colleague Letter is COB April 17, 2026.

We need your help. Please click on the link below and ask your Senators to sign onto the Senate Dear Colleague Letter. The more signatures we can secure, the stronger the case we can make to Senate Appropriators to support $610 million for Title VIII funding in FY 2027. 

Act Now! Every signature counts!
