Media Advisory:  Bernie Bus Comes to Moorhead

 

'Bars for Bernie' events hit six locales across state

 

Nurses with the Minnesota Nurses Association and National Nurses United invite Minnesotans to gather over cookie bars and coffee to discuss why voters should support Bernie Sanders on Super Tuesday at their Minnesota Caucus. The bus will be at the Moorhead Public Library at 9 a.m., Sunday, February 28.

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is the only presidential candidate to support a "Medicare for all" or single payer healthcare system, which Minnesota nurses have strongly supported.

The "Bernie Bus" has been a fixture across the nation at caucuses and primaries. Nurses have been riding the bus and speaking to voters in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and California. The bus makes six stops in Minnesota before caucus night.

Local nurses for Sanders will meet the bus at each stop. MNA President Mary C. Turner will speak at each rally. U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison (DFL-Minneapolis) will speak at the February 29 event in Minneapolis.
