Nuns on the Bus 2014: We the People, We the Voters

2014

NETWORK’s Nuns on the Bus went on the road again in 2014! This 11-state, 44-city, 115-event tour drove so “We the People” can stand up against big money in the 2014 midterm elections.

We the People, in order to form a more perfect union, must:

  • Vote: Strong voter turnout overpowers the influence of big money in politics. Dollars can’t vote, you can.
  • Encourage Others to Vote: When we encourage people to vote, we make sure that the voices of the 100% are heard. Urge and help others to vote.
  • Hold Candidates Responsible: When we demand that candidates commit to policies that benefit the 100%, we can all hold them accountable when elected. When the people vote, politicians listen.
When “We the People” vote, politicians will:
Mend the Wealth Gap  Enact a Living Wage
 Craft a Faithful Budget that Benefits the 100% 
Secure Healthcare for All  Protect Immigrant Rights
Promote Nonviolent Solutions to Conflict

It's All about That Bus: #NunTrouble
