Stephanie Moulton would have turned 26 years-old today.

About a year ago, the healthcare provider was repeatedly stabbed to death by one of her mental health patients at the Revere facility, a Massachusetts state-run facility.

At the time of the incident Stephanie was working alone. She didn't have a panic button, security or anything else to circumvent what took place after the patient was triggered.

Stephanie's family, friends and SEIU Local Union 509 have since teamed up to push for legislation requiring mental health facilities to have panic button equipment for all its providers. Though one would think this would have been implemented days after Stephanie's death, a year later this simple step in the right direction is caught up in endless committee.

While there will be statewide candlelight vigils taking place in Massachusetts today, we are calling on members and activists to send Stephanie's family a letter of condolence, of solidarity, and if moved to do so, their own story as it relates to violence on the job. To take this action, fill out the form and hit enter ... we'll be certain that every response is personally delivered.

You would think some sort of panic button would be a no brainer in jobs such as hers.
