Nurses’ YUGE, Red #BernieBus to Visit Binghamton, NY Monday
Registered nurses aboard National Nurses United (NNU)’s #BernieBus will continue a swing through upstate New York on Monday, heading to Binghamton to meet with local residents about the issues impacting their lives.
"We have talked to a lot people in New York and beyond who are struggling—who recognize the growing inequality in this country that is hurting our communities," said Jean Ross, co-president of National Nurses United. "But we've also seen the resilience of people who are coming together across this country ready for the real change inherent in Bernie Sanders’ campaign."

National Nurses United, with over 185,000 members from all 50 states, is the largest organization of registered nurses in the U.S. and the first union to endorse Sanders, in August last year. Since then, NNU members have been organizing house parties, rallies and phone banks, and mobilizing door-to-door efforts in support of Sanders.
“From Nevada to New Hampshire, from Colorado to South Carolina, RNs have talked to voters and been reminded of the huge gaps in access to healthcare and education, concerns about retirement security, the jobs lost due to unfair trade deals, widespread inequality, and the escalating climate crisis,” said RoseAnn DeMoro, NNU Executive Director. “Bernie Sanders and the legions of grassroots activists around the U.S. who have joined him will not stop. The political revolution is just beginning.”
