This morning, National Nurses United announced our endorsement of Bernie Sanders for the Democratic Party presidential nomination. Take a moment to share our announcement on Facebook and Twitter.
Nurses recognize that the crises facing people across this country are a matter of life and death for our patients. We need a president that understands that the way to bring about fundamental change is by building a mass movement.
Medicare for All is one part of that. But we also need a president who will lead on workers’ rights, strengthen unions, and expand protections for nurses and patients. We need a president who will fight for economic, racial, social, and environmental justice for all. Bernie can — and will — be that president.
Most importantly, we know Bernie has what it takes to help build a movement with the grassroots strength and determination needed to defeat the disastrous policies of this current administration.
It won’t be easy, but that has never slowed us down before. The time to get to work is NOW.
In solidarity,
National Nurses United
