Epic Heroes = Nurses In Nonviolent Action

Posted on April 27, 2020

Editor’s Note from Rivera Sun Nurses are badass heroes in scrubs. Period. But when they step into traffic to halt a car protest of gun-toting “astroturf” protesters demanding that social distancing end, they reach heroism of epic proportions.
