Protecting Our Troops

Friend,  While it may not have caught the big headlines, earlier this month the House voted on a Defense Bill that included several provisions that are harmful to our service members. By taking away access to reproductive care and harming LGBTQ+ troops, this bill is taking what should be bipartisan …
