Ben and Jerry co-founder and Bernie supporter joins RNs on the campaign trail to scoop ice cream and talk to voters

The registered nurses, members of National Nurses United bringing its campaign in support of Senator Bernie Sanders to Orange County Tuesday with stops at UC Irvine and downtown Orange.  Joining the nurses for a second day is 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.

The nurses will continue their campaign swing in Southern California with stops at college campuses, hospitals and senior centers in Riverside, and San Diego Counties before heading back up the coast over the weekend.

TUESDAY OC #BernieBus Stops

• Morning: Bernie Rally, Anaheim Convention Center
• Midday: UC Irvine campus visit
• Afternoon: Old Towne Orange/Plaza Square Park

Ben and Jerry co-founder Ben Cohen scoops ice cream and registers voters with nurses at LA Trade Tech on the final day to register.

“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.
