What We Do
Our Priorities
Increase Positive Patriotic Engagement
Patriotic engagement, built around an informed citizenry and civil discourse, is the basis of a healthy society and strong America. We believe that the veteran and military family community is uniquely positioned to “lead by example”.
We build programs to empower them to do that in new and meaningful ways.
Protect Our Communities & Building Resilience to Online Threats
Our community of veterans and military family members is consistently targeted online by scammers and foreign adversaries trying to steal our identities, hard-earned savings and military benefits, and influence our beliefs to their advantage. As these efforts become more sophisticated and pervasive, we have an imperative to better protect and equip our community with resilience to guard against these threats, as well as to protect the overarching veteran and military brand. We’ve built an ecosystem of partners from across the public and private sectors to launch research-backed initiatives to protect our community and our national security. The more resilient and informed this community is, the stronger America becomes.
Represent Our Community in the Conversation
The voice of the silent majority of veterans and military family members who demonstrate patriotism through continued service to and support of their communities is missing from the national conversation. Veterans vote, volunteer and serve in local and national civil service at high rates - significantly higher than their non-veteran peers - that should remind people to trust those systems. We aim to be fact-based, solution-oriented advocates for and on behalf of our community on these issues.
