Stand for Free Speech and Patient Safety: Support Healthcare Workers at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing." - Edmund Burke.

In the wake of concerns surrounding patient safety at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center, a grave issue has arisen that we cannot ignore: the suppression of free speech within our healthcare system.

The story of Dr. Anne Yered, who bravely spoke out for patient safety only to be met with intimidation and removal from her position, is not just a healthcare concern; it's a violation of a foundational democratic principle.

We are university students, community members, patients, families, and concerned citizens, and we believe in the right to speak out without fear of retaliation. This is why we must expand the scope of our original petition.

The fight for patient safety is inextricably linked to the fight for free speech. How can healthcare professionals effectively advocate for patient well-being without the freedom to speak? How can we trust a system that suppresses voices that dare to speak the truth?

While we continue to seek justice for patient safety, we also stand for the freedom of speech for all healthcare workers. Their voices should not be silenced, and their concerns should not be stifled.

We urge you to join us in this vital cause. If you haven't signed our original petition, we encourage you to do so now. It's not just a call for patient safety; it's a call for free speech, transparency, and the integrity of our healthcare system.
