When the VA rolls back essential care, we step up.
We partnered with @brigidalliance.bsky.social to launch our #WeveGotYourSix campaign with billboards outside VA clinics to ensure no veteran is left behind. Need reproductive care? We’re here to help with logistics and support.

Last month, we gathered at @MDLT in Joshua Tree for the Veterans for the Desert Roundtable. 🌵
From protecting public lands to finding healing in outdoor spaces, we’re pushing beyond party lines for our desert and our vets.

Destroying all power, water, and civilian infrastructure violates distinction, necessity, and proportionality. And even the threat to terrorize civilians is illegal under the DoD Law of War Manual.
This isn’t strategy. It’s unlawful.
Via @theUCMJattorney: A U.S. President just threatened to wipe out an entire civilization. Under the law of armed conflict, that’s not just rhetoric, it’s a war crime.

At our Veterans for the Desert roundtable last week, Vet Voice CEO Janessa Goldbeck moderated a panel discussion on the importance of public lands to veterans.
As Marine Corps vet Barry Scanlan said, “It really is a patriotic issue. As veterans, we just want to protect the land.”
“The people who serve this country are willing to sacrifice everything for us. The least we can do is ensure they have access to the full spectrum of health care they need — including reproductive care.” — Vet Voice CEO Janessa Goldbeck and The Brigid Alliance ED Serra Sippel
1 in 3 women veterans has experienced sexual trauma. The Trump administration stripped them of their healthcare.
Vet Voice senior advisor Kayla Williams says blocking access to abortion for rape & incest survivors is despicable and appalling. Veterans deserve care, not cruelty.
Conservation isn't a partisan issue; it's a patriotic duty. Veterans like Barry Scanlan fought for this land, its history, and its future. We must protect our public lands for all people, animals, and the generations to come. 🇺🇸
Native Americans have a profound history of military service. Chairman Emeritus Glenn Lodge (Chemehuevi Tribe & Army Special Forces Vet) spoke at Tuesday's Veterans for the Desert event about his family's legacy and how the land provides opportunity for all.
"It's a moral injury." Listen to Marine Corps veteran Nick Borrelli at our Veterans for the Desert Roundtable explain the deep, personal impact that selling off public lands would have on the veterans who sacrificed to defend them.
Steve Pearce is unfit to lead the BLM. By advancing his nomination, Senate Republicans chose oil & gas interests over the public lands veterans rely on for health and livelihoods.
Veterans will remember this betrayal.
Trump’s pick to lead the BLM, Steve Pearce, is a direct threat to our public lands. We cannot trust him with 245 million acres of federal land. Protect our outdoors and tell Senators to vote NO on his confirmation.

President Trump and Sen. Mike Lee’s nominee to head the BLM, Steve Pearce, says we do not need our public lands. He wants to sell them off while he profits from his oil companies and farming operations.

“So when Steve Pearce says, we do not even need most of this land, he's not just talking about acreage, he's talking about eliminating veterans' jobs,” says VVFND CEO Janessa Goldbeck. 1 in 5 BLM employees are veterans, working as wildland firefighters, conservation professionals, and guides.
President Trump and Sen. Mike Lee’s nominee for the BLM, Steve Pearce, wants to sell off our lands to the highest bidders. Don’t let them take what belongs to all of us.

@ucmjattorney.bsky.social explains:

"First reports are always wrong." It’s a military cliché that DHS leadership seems to have forgotten. Doug Krugman breaks down the dangerous pattern of shoot-first-ask-questions-later at DHS, and why Congress needs to step in now to force accountability.
For Army veteran James Barry, nature offers the peace that service often takes away. He says protecting roadless forests isn’t just about conservation, but about preserving the quiet sanctuaries where veterans can heal and find their way home. 🌲🇺🇸

5/3️⃣The constitution protects the right to speak on issues of public concern. Service members freely expressing views on issues relating to our military and its role in domestic and foreign affairs is no different. And is in fact, crucial to hear.
