In Pretti’s final moments, Stone saw a nurse. The impact of Pretti’s death has undoubtedly reverberated across America, but perhaps more deeply among the nation’s nurses and health care professionals, who see themselves reflected in the actions he took before his death. It’s a sentiment that has come up again and again as nurses, a workforce dominated by women, begin mobilizing in Pretti’s name. The National Nurses Union is hosting a national week of actions in response to Alex Pretti’s death. In New York, where nurses have been on strike for three weeks to demand better working conditions, Pretti’s death has added a new layer to their demands.
