On Sunday 1-15-17 the National Nurses United are making what they say is their first stand to resist harmful policies of the new administration in Washington.

It's a national day of action to save health care. NNU Co-President Deborah Burger.

Deborah Burger: "We want to save health care for everyone. We want to expand Medicare and Medicaid. And we want to make sure that the politicians are on notice before they take office that we will not tolerate cuts to any kind of health care."

The nurses say actions will happen in forty cities, including New York, Washington D.C., San Francisco , Chicago, Fort Worth, Portland Maine, Columbus Ohio and others. More information is available at OurRevolution.com

Deborah Burger: "We do believe that we are carrying on in the tradition of Bernie Sanders' demand that we actually have a real political revolution. He has always said that him running for President was not about him, it was about changing the political system and making sure that our politicians that are supposed to represent us do their job and speak up for the working people and the poor in this country."

National Nurses United say Medicare and Mediaid should be improved and expanded, not destroyed.
