Veterans: Common Defense Wants to Hear Your Story

From Common Defense:

Trump and Musk are tearing down the government as we know it—gutting the federal workforce, slashing funding, and leaving veterans and working families behind. These aren’t just policy changes on paper—real people are losing benefits, jobs, and the security they fought for.

If their reckless attacks have impacted you or someone you know on government jobs, veterans’ benefits, DEI policies, immigration rights, or military service policies, we need to hear your story.

Have you or someone you know been impacted by any of these actions?

Federal Job & Funding Cuts – Hiring freezes, lost grants, reduced funding for veteran services.
Veterans’ Healthcare & Benefits – Delays in disability claims, VA service cuts, lack of mental health resources.
DEI & Civil Rights Attacks – Trans military bans, anti-LGBTQ+ rollbacks, dismantled diversity programs.
Immigration & Family Separation – Deportation threats, visa issues for immigrant veterans.
Military Service Policy Changes – Deployment shifts, war crime pardons, structural military overhauls.
Social & Community Impacts – Rising extremism, political divisions.
Impacts to DoDEA schools for military families, including book bans, and impacts to LGBTQ students and faculty
