Registered nurses aboard National Nurses United (NNU)’s #BernieBus will travel to Poughkeepsie and Westchester County, New York Thursday to meet with local residents about the issues impacting their lives.

“Nurses are proud to stand with New Yorkers to support Bernie Sanders because he is leading the fight to make college accessible for everyone through a small tax on Wall Street speculation,” said Sandra Falwell, a registered nurse and Vice President of National Nurses United. "My niece went heavily into debt to get her education, while other countries provide tuition-free education for their young people.  I am supporting Sen. Sanders because we need the Robin Hood Tax to make education for all a reality.”

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.”
