Team,

In the last few days over 51,000 veterans, military family members and allies to our movement signed our petition standing with Capt. Crozier and the brave show of leadership for which he was dismissed.

Since then, news broke that he and 44% of the Roosevelt crew have tested positive for COVID-19, only further underscoring that he did the right thing in sounding the alarm on what has quickly turned into a dire situation.

Thank you for signing if you already did. If you haven't yet, please add your name to our petition standing with Capt. Crozier and demanding an investigation from the Acting Navy Secretary into why he was dismissed for doing his job.

Due to the outpour of support and interest, we're keeping this petition open for another day before we email it to the Acting Navy Secretary. If you can, please forward this email to anyone you know who may want to join us in solidarity with Capt. Crozier.

Best,

Team,

When Navy Captain Brett Crozier sounded the alarm about the dire situation aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt and the incredible danger his crew was facing with a lack of resources available to fight the coronavirus onboard, he was honorably fulfilling the responsibilities of his station.

But Capt. Crozier was fired for standing up for the lives of those who served under him, in yet another display of disrespect for our service members shown by Donald Trump and his administrations.

We launched a petition as a sign of solidarity with Capt. Crozier, and in just 48 hours we’ve received over 46,000 signatures from veterans, military families, and allies to our movement.

Team, join the crew of the Roosevelt and tens of thousands of members of the VoteVets community by adding your name to our petition in solidarity with Capt. Cozier and his display of decisive leadership.

Real leaders always do the right thing, even when it’s not the easiest option. Since Capt. Crozier’s dismissal, VoteVets has unequivocally supported his actions in defense of the lives of his sailors.

It’s critical we keep the drumbeat going as Donald Trump and his administration continue to face blowback for their politically-motivated dismissal of Capt. Crozier.

In a few days, we’ll not only send the names of signers to the Acting Navy Secretary. We’re setting a tentative deadline of midnight on Sunday to get signatures in.

Add your name today to send a strong message of support for Capt. Crozier and his unflinching loyalty to his crew and to our country.
