The political cartoon on this month's cover depicts a harried nurse in personal protective equipment (PPE) casting her vote for president. Drawn by Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist David Horsey, the cartoon symbolizes the power of nurses as a voting bloc and also references a defining issue faced by U.S. nurses this year: shortages of PPE. Read this month's Editorial, "No Time for Silence," for more on the cartoon's meaning-and for editor-in-chief Shawn Kennedy's commentary on the importance of the upcoming election. Also in this issue is a Nursing Resources article, "Resources for Nurses in an Election Year," that offers links to information on current government representatives and candidates, legislation of relevance to nursing, nursing organizations' advocacy efforts and initiatives, and more.
