Strengthening and Protecting Civic Engagement
Veterans consistently express concern about democratic institutions, voting access, misinformation, and preservation of civil rights. For veterans, democracy is not abstract—it is tied directly to the oath they swore to defend the Constitution. Members report concern about mis- and disinformation, efforts to limit equity in military service, voting access barriers, and erosion of democratic norms
2026 Priorities Include:
- Supporting legislation that strengthens voting rights and transparency
- Protecting equitable access to military service
- Promoting civic participation and informed engagement
- Upholding the rule of law and constitutional principles
