TORI JENSEN, RN [filming herself]: I am being escorted out of Kaiser Permanente Hospital for my religious beliefs because I don't want to get the jab. And I asked all day for someone to explain to me why my sincerely held religious beliefs are not good enough for Kaiser. And no one was able to do that for me.

So now they're escorting me out because I wanted an answer and I'm not leaving without an answer. And I have some nurses here who are standing with me in solidarity. And I appreciate that. And I just want all of you to count the cost. I want you to watch this and think, what really matters to me? Because I am willing to lose my safety and security, my house, everything, for my freedom. And I want you to think about that.

RECORDED VOICE: Going down.

TORI JENSEN, RN: Let me ask you. Do you believe in religious freedom?

SECURITY GUARD: I do.

TORI JENSEN, RN: Well Kaiser doesn't. Do you believe in religious freedom?

WOMAN'S VOICE: One hundred percent.

TORI JENSEN, RN: Do you believe in religious freedom?

ANOTHER WOMAN'S VOICE: [inaudible]

TORI JENSEN, RN: OK. Well Kaiser doesn't believe in religious freedom because they are not accepting my religious exemption based on my sincerely held religious beliefs. So.

RECORDED VOICE: Going up.

TORI JENSEN, RN[exiting elevator]: That's a problem.

WOMAN'S VOICE FROM HALLWAY: Love you.

TORI JENSEN, RN: Love you.

[to camera, as walking down hall of hospital]: All day I've been asking for someone from HR to come talk to me about why my religious exemption was not good enough for Kaiser. So I've been asking and asking, and no one will give me an answer. So that was at 10:45 this morning that I was told I'm now being placed on unpaid administrative leave for no reason.

I showed up to work this morning. Happy to work. All I want to do is work. All I want to do is work. Since the beginning, I've been a covid nurse since the beginning when we didn't know what was going on. When we didn't know what kind of rooms we were walking into. But that's what we do. We're nurses. And I'll keep doing that, just somewhere else.

But I want you all to think about what matters to you. Because this matters to me. Freedom matters to me. Because it's a slippery slope when you start taking away freedoms. Slippery slope.

So Kaiser, thank you, thank you for the money. Kaiser pays well. It's pretty much, you know, the devil's in the details.

[to security officer]: I'm on the seventh floor. You good to walk the stairs?

MASKED SECURITY OFFICER: Hey. [laughs] I'm on the [inaudible].

TORI JENSEN, RN [to camera]: We're taking the stairs.

[to someone off camera]: Bye, girl.

TORI JENSEN, RN: Bye. [she hugs her]

WOMAN'S VOICE: I'm so sorry. It's not right.

TORI JENSEN, RN: It's not right.

WOMAN'S VOICE: Totally inappropriate.

TORI JENSEN, RN: It's not right. Thank you.

[walking again, speaking to camera]: We're taking the stairs. I'm on the seventh floor. You game? OK, let's go.

So since I have, since I you, um, what would you do if you were in my shoes, if they were telling you that you had to violate your sincerely held religious belief or lose your job, what would you do?

SECURITY OFFICER: I don't know. [inaudible] that so I don't know how to respond to that.

TORI JENSEN, RN: Yeah. Well they will, I mean, if it's not the vaccine it'll be something else. So for me, I didn't want to do that. And I'm taking a stand because I know that this is not the end. Because there'll just be one other thing.

Here we go. Floor one. [Climbing the stairs— reading placard] "Climbing the stairs is a free workout built right into your day. Kaiser Permanente."

The security guard's walking with me. Seven floors. I don't think they were ready for that.

[Climbing the stairs— reading placard] "Helps shrink your waistline by building healthy muscle and pumping your metabolism."

It's a sad day. I don't know what kind of pandemic it is if they're firing nurses who are willing to work. I don't know! Doesn't make sense to me.

So you got to ask yourself a question. What kind of world are we living in when we have a pandemic where my kids have to wear masks at school and they have to get a vaccine for something that they're not at risk of dying for at all? What kind of a world are we living in if they're firing nurses who don't want to violate their sincerely held religious beliefs. Right? That's crazy.

[Climbing the stairs— reading placard] "Taking the stairs burns steam and relieves stress. Kaiser Permanente"

[aims camera at view out to trees tops and sky] Hey that's the view.

[camera on masked security officer, still in his mask, then camera back on herself]: We're there. We're there, sir. Seven flights, that's right, I follow the rules. I park on top. That's the kind of nurse I am.
