Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America fights on behalf of the post-9/11 generation of veterans.
IAVA increases awareness in the media, among the American public, and in Washington to ensure that the voices of our newest generation of veterans are heard and listened to.
America’s veterans, who have defended democracy abroad, are increasingly concerned about its state at home, with 74% of IAVA veterans dissatisfied. Their voices are crucial in addressing this urgent issue.
Afghan allies who risked their lives for U.S. troops need our support. With a significant majority of veterans urging action, it’s crucial to fix the Special Immigrant Visa system and honor our commitments.
Veterans are increasingly seeking alternatives to traditional treatments like opioids. With strong support for both cannabis and psychedelics, it’s time for national policy changes to provide these options.
As gender equality demands equal responsibilities, many veterans believe women should be required to register for the Selective Service. It’s time to align national policies with this call for shared sacrifice.
With 72% of IAVA veterans believing more should be done to support Afghan allies, it’s clear that fixing the Special Immigrant Visa system is crucial. Ensuring that we honor our promises and provide refuge for those who risked their lives for us is vital for national security and the well-being of our veteran community.
The Supreme Court’s decision has impacted reproductive care for veterans and their families. A majority of veterans support expanded access to care, highlighting ongoing needs in the wake of recent changes.
Veterans aren’t a charity. They’re an investment. Donate to help empower IAVA veterans and ensure their voices are heard.
