Veterans and Military Families Fighting for Democracy

Common Defense members are leading the fight for a democracy and a country that represents all of us and works for everyone. From the halls of Congress to city halls across the country, we are marching to ensure the promise of America is realized: that We The People have the final say — not billionaires and wannabe kings — and that Liberty and Justice truly are for all.

Veterans and Military Families are standing up for the values we fought to defend

From the Golden Coast across the plains to the North Star State and all the way down to the hills of Appalachia, we are all working to defend democracy and improve our communities.

We have organizers on the ground in multiple states and have teams working across the country as well.
