Our Slack veteran community
This is the space where you can connect with other progressive veterans working on similar issues or living in your region. It is the best way to engage with a veteran across the country from you!
Monthly national members-only calls
Where you will hear policy updates, ways to take action virtually and in-person, and will be able to discuss the issues most important to you with fellow like-minded veterans. You will also have access to guest speakers including elected officials and leaders in the progressive movement.
Opportunities to join member committees
As a member you will expand your leadership skills by joining any of our standing member committees: Electoral Committee, Outreach Committee, and Social Media Committee.
Volunteering and organizing opportunities
We have an extensive list of ally organizations that we regularly partner with and support their actions. We also host working groups for possible upcoming campaigns and are proud to support any actions that are planned and led by our members if we have capacity!
