Friend,

Last year I stood on the steps of the Capitol with members of the progressive veterans group, Common Defense, calling for Donald Trump's impeachment.

And today, I am proud to keep working with Common Defense as they continue to fight back against Donald Trump’s actions and policies, and fight for progressive change like Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and ending what veterans call the “Forever Wars.”

Common Defense is working across the country to organize veterans to take actions in their own communities and build a nationwide movement of progressive veterans—but they need our help. They are 100% dependent on small-dollar contributions from supporters like you, not corporations and billionaires.

Will you join me in supporting Common Defense’s critical work—to oust Donald Trump from the White House, flip the Senate, grow our Squad, and win a country where “liberty and justice”—truly is for all? Please donate to Common Defense today.

Veterans have sacrificed a lot in the name of service to this country—even though too many politicians have exploited that courage by sending them to fight unjust wars, and treated them as disposable when they came back home.

And now Donald Trump and the Republican Party want to use them as a cudgel against our movement for change. But with the help of Common Defense, veterans have been reclaiming their own voice and speaking out against all the attacks on our communities during the Trump administration. And the people are listening.

Common Defense formed during the 2016 election because they saw the need to start fighting against this president right from the start—and we need to support them as they continue to organize in the most important election of our lifetimes.

There is too much at stake this year to sit back and allow Donald Trump and his Republican allies to steal another 4 years of this country’s potential.

Join me in supporting Common Defense and their veterans organizing against Trump.

Together, let’s ensure that veterans are able to fully realize their potential as powerful agents of progressive change.

Always serving you,

Rashida

P.S. If you are a veteran or served in the military yourself, you can join Common Defense’s organizing “cadre” here to be invited to weekly calls and get involved in the progressive veteran community.
