Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders will be in San Francisco on Friday to promote his Medicare for All 2017 plan at a convention of California nurses.
"We are enormously proud of Sen. Sanders for his sponsorship of S. 1804 and want to welcome all the activists and supporters who have worked so long with Sen. Sanders and nurses' fight in our common fight for healthcare for all and social justice,' CNA Executive Director RoseAnn DeMoro said in press release.
Convention delegates will also hear from California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, commentator Van Jones and Our Revolution President Nina Turner.
The program kicks off in Yuerba Buena Gardens (750 Howard St., San Francisco) at 12:30 p.m. with a performance by the John Santos Quartet. Sanders is expected to address the crowd at 1 p.m.
