VetsForward puts those skills to work by mobilizing America’s military veterans to engage voters in meaningful conversation about the American values they fought for in the service—the same values that make our democracy strong.

Propositions 128, 129, and 132 take away your right to decide what happens in Arizona. They allow politicians who don’t like the decisions we’ve made to rewrite the rules, so they can get what they want, instead of what Arizonans want.
