WHY WE’RE ORGANIZING NOW

Veterans Day falls one week after Election Day.

For years, much of the work of protecting democracy has focused on getting Americans safely through Election Day: registering voters, staffing polling places, countering disinformation, and protecting access to the ballot.

That work is critical.

But the work of democracy does not end when the polls close.

The votes still have to be counted. The lawful results have to be respected. Public officials still have to honor their oaths.

Donald Trump has spent a decade attacking the legitimacy of American elections when their outcomes threaten his political interests. We expect Trump and his allies to challenge the legitimacy of the 2026 election if the results threaten their hold on power.

We cannot know today exactly what form that challenge will take or how far it will go.

That is why we are organizing before Election Day—not after.

WE TOOK AN OATH

There are millions of American veterans.

Every one of us raised a hand and swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution—not a president, a political party, or any politician.

That oath did not expire when we took off the uniform.

We kept ours. We expect our elected leaders to keep theirs.

OUR THREE POINTS OF UNITY:

1) THE VOTERS DECIDE. THE RESULTS STAND.

Every eligible voter deserves to have their ballot counted. Legitimate election disputes must be grounded in evidence and resolved through lawful processes.

The lawful results of free and fair elections must be respected, certified, and implemented.

2) NO PRESIDENT IS ABOVE THE CONSTITUTION.

Executive power has limits.

Those who serve are obligated to follow lawful orders—and refuse unlawful ones. Elected officials who swear an oath to the Constitution have an affirmative duty to defend it and check abuses of executive authority.

That principle applies to federal law enforcement, the domestic deployment of military forces, and military action abroad.

3) KEEP FAITH WITH THOSE WHO SERVE.

Servicemembers deserve lawful leadership and should never be misused for political purposes.

Veterans deserve the health care, disability compensation, and benefits they earned.

The cost of war does not end when the war does.

BE PART OF IT

We are building the capacity to bring veterans and allies to Washington in numbers large enough to demonstrate that there is an organized constituency prepared to defend constitutional government and the rule of law.

Veterans are organized. We are paying attention. And we are preparing to act together.
