Our Military and Veterans Agenda
Those of us who have served in the military or have family members who have served, often feel that we’re given lip service, but very little actual focus on our issues. Why do so many come home from their service unable to find a job? Why do so many people struggle to receive even basic health care? We have to do better in supporting those who serve.
Let’s Dare to Act for:
Preventing privatization of the VA and expanded access to community health services
Streamline the VA disability application process
Preparing transition services for all military members to immediately move into the civilian workforce
Support to families of active military members
Maintaining caregiver programs and assistance
Expand mental health services for veterans
Dental care for all veterans with disability ratings
Enhance services for children of service members born with disabilities
Ensure that military spending enhances the well-being of troops NOT corporations
