Actress Rosario Dawson and Ben and Jerry co-founder join RNs on campaign trail to scoop ice cream and talk to voters

The registered nurses, members of National Nurses United are bringing their campaign in support of Senator Bernie Sanders to Riverside County Wednesday with stops at UC Riverside and the Center for Social Justice. Joining the nurses is actress Rosario Dawson, and Ben and Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen who has been traveling the country scooping out complimentary cups of his ice cream, and even crafted a very limited edition flavor called Bernie's Yearning.

Twenty-two gallons of ice cream were scooped out to 1,000 students at UC Irvine on Tuesday, who while waiting their turn in line received Bernie buttons, tattoos, and placards and help locating their polling places.

The nurses #BernieBus will wrap up its campaign swing in Southern California with stops at both the university campus and medical center of UC San Diego Thursday before heading back up the coast over the weekend.

“Our nurses have been all over the state on the #BernieBus this month, discussing the issues that matter most to Californians and reminding people to register to vote by the May 23 deadline,” said California Nurses Association Co-President Zenei Cortez. “For the first time in a long time, California is a pivotal primary state, and nurses are in it to win it for Bernie.”

As the #BernieBus tour has traversed America, from Maine to California and Florida to Oregon nurses have emphasized Sanders’ commitment to guaranteed healthcare for all, assuring equal educational opportunity for all by making public colleges and universities tuition free, raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour and creating millions of good paying jobs by rebuilding the nation’s crumbling infrastructure, real action on climate change, 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.
