Stops at Cal State Northridge and Pierce College campuses

National Nurses United members, who have spent the last eight months traveling from coast to coast campaigning for Sen. Bernie Sanders on a bright red #BernieBus—will begin a week-long campaign swing southern California with stops at two San Fernando Valley college campuses on Friday.

“The #BernieBus arrived in California last week, and it has already traveled throughout the Bay Area, helping nurses connect with voters,” said California Nurses Association Co-President Zenei Cortez.

“Our nurses will be out all over the state this month, discussing the issues that matter most to Californians and reminding people to register to vote by the May 23 deadline. We have 90,000 members in this state, and our nurses are excited to have a chance to vote for Bernie Sanders—just as California voters are excited to make their voices heard in the call for change."

Nurses say they are looking forward meeting with students to discuss Bernie’s platform for free education at all public colleges and universities.

NNU members have been talking to voters since last fall, recently in Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky and Oregon. The #BernieBus will travel throughout California in May and early June, ahead of the June 7 California primary.

As the #BernieBus tour has traversed America, nurses have emphasized Sanders’ commitment to guaranteed healthcare for all, assuring equal educational opportunity for all by eliminating public college tuition to drive down student debt, raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour and creating millions of good paying jobs by rebuilding the nation’s crumbling infrastructure, and broad criminal justice reform, as well as opposition to unfair trade pacts.

National Nurses United is the largest union of nurses in the country, with 186,000 members in 50 states—and was the first national union to endorse Sanders, in August, 2015.
