Our Story
Common Defense was founded in 2016 and has been leading the fight against authoritarianism since.
We are a veteran-led grassroots movement dedicated to protecting democracy, combating authoritarianism, and building a future where liberty and justice truly are for all. We represent the diversity of the military and are united by the oath that we swore to defend the Constitution—from enemies, foreign and domestic. Together, we’re proving that patriotism means service to people—not politicians.
