Who We Are
We empower veterans to stand up for our communities against the rising tide of racism, hate, and violence, to organize against the entrenched power of greedy billionaires who have rigged our economy, and to champion an equitable and representative democracy, where “liberty and justice” truly is for all.
We achieve this through:
-
Training veterans as grassroots organizers
-
Growing, organizing, and mobilizing the progressive veteran community
-
Advocating for progressive legislation at the local, state, and federal level
-
Mobilizing our 200,000 members to support candidates who share our values
Common Defense is the country’s largest veteran-led grassroots organization committed to engaging, organizing, training and mobilizing veterans to elect accountable leaders and promote progressive values in 2020 and beyond.
