From @springsteen : I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free, Bruce Springsteen

Alex Pretti, a registered nurse, was killed in a horrifying shooting at the hands of federal law enforcement. We ask all nurses to visit ow.ly/2ysn50Y3L4G to send a letter to your members of Congress. Let them know that nurses demand immediate action.

Hugely saddened to hear of the death of Baroness Helen Newlove a tireless campaigner for victims. Helen also took a special interest in the decline of community nursing following her own family experience - Thoughts are with her family & friends at this sad time @CrystalOldman
