Veterans Work to Protect Elections
U.S. #veterans fought for #democracy, and veterans continue to protect elections through organizations such as VetTheVote, a nonpartisan initiative of We the Veterans and Military Families. “Its mission is simple: recruit veterans and military family members to serve as poll workers and help strengthen confidence in local elections.” Vet the Vote has recruited more than 165,000 veterans and military family members to serves as poll workers since 2022, and it aims to recruit 250,000 veterans and military family members to protect the sanctity of the midterm elections. #VeteransVote
Dedicate Your Vote to a Veteran
Longtime readers of The Organizing Blog know that they can #donate lightly used #clothing and #household goods to ClothingDonations.org to help fund valuable #veterans programs. But did you know that the U.S. Vote Foundation — an organization dedicated to voter education —lets people Vote in Honor of a Veteran? You can post a tribute to a designated veteran or active service member and pledge your vote in the person’s honor. “America’s veterans defended the right to vote, U.S. Vote Foundation Chairman Mark Ritchie said in a release. “The least we can do is use it. And now, we can honor them when we do.” #VeteransVote
Consider Veterans When You Vote
It’s an election year, and multiple bills affecting #veterans will be coming to a vote in the next months. The Major Richard Star Act finally reached a 218-signature trigger to force a vote; veteran service organizations have pushed for the bill’s passage for years, but the House went into recess before voting. “Combat-injured veterans shouldn’t have to choose between the retirement they earned and the disability compensation they’re owed,” said Mark Takano (D-CA) in a statement. “The time for that debate is over. The only person standing between these veterans and their money is Speaker Johnson, and he’s out of excuses.” #VeteransVote
