“UNITE FOR VETERANS, UNITE FOR AMERICA” RALLY

On Friday, June 6, we are coming together at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., for a decisive moment of truth, Justice, and action. This is not just a rally—it’s a call to conscience. Our veterans defended this nation. We owe them. They had our backs in times of war, conflict, and chaos. Now it’s our turn to have theirs. <h3 class="yiv0290683645header-anchor-post">✊ JOIN US AT THE “UNITE FOR VETERANS, UNITE FOR AMERICA” RALLY</h3> Friday, June 6, 2025 2:00 PM ET National Mall, Washington, D.C. (Between the Washington Monument and the U.S. Capitol) Radical Republicans, MAGA extremists, and Donald Trump—who may hold power but has never shown leadership—are gutting essential services for those who served. Veterans are being fired from federal jobs. Healthcare is being slashed. VA benefits are under attack. It is cruel, calculated, and wrong. But we’re not backing down. People Power United is rising—with veterans, families, and allies across this country—to say: <blockquote>If our Veterans are sick, let us heal them. If our Veterans are hungry, let us feed them. If our Veterans seek employment, let us hire them. If our Veterans need peace, let us fight for it. — Rick P. Martinez, USMC Vietnam Veteran</blockquote> <h3 class="yiv0290683645header-anchor-post">WHY WE RALLY</h3> In 2025, the Trump administration’s policies have significantly harmed veterans, undermining their access to essential services and support. <ol> <li>An internal memo revealed plans to cut over 80,000 jobs from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), aiming to revert staffing levels to those of 2019. ¹</li> <li>Trump and Republicans in Congress are moving towards privatizing VA hospitals and clinics, which threatens access to care—especially in rural areas where VA facilities are a lifeline.</li> <li>Life-saving clinical trials for veterans battling aggressive diseases like metastatic cancer and kidney failure were halted due to budget slashing—over 1,000 veterans lost access to these treatments. ²</li> </ol> This moment is about more than veterans—it’s about the soul of our democracy. When we defend our veterans, we defend all Americans. Jobs. Healthcare. Dignity. Democracy. It’s all connected. We rally to: <ul> <li> Protect veteran and military family employment in the federal workforce</li> <li> Stop the privatization and weakening of the Department of Veterans Affairs</li> <li>⚖️ Hold political leaders accountable who betray the promises made to our heroes</li> </ul> <h3 class="yiv0290683645header-anchor-post">THIS IS OUR CALL TO ACTION</h3> Knowledge is power. By understanding the threats to our veterans, we sharpen the tools we need to protect our freedoms, families, and future. We are building a movement that stands for: <ul> <li> Freedom over fascism</li> <li> Justice over cruelty</li> <li> Unity over division</li> </ul> We are better than our worst days—and together, we will right the wrongs. We will not cower to bullies or bow to chaos. We will rise. <h3 class="yiv0290683645header-anchor-post"> HOW YOU CAN HELP:</h3> <ul> <li>✍️ SIGN THE PETITIONS <ul> <li><a href="https://substack.com/redirect/ddc2bca8-088b-4904-94b0-29e293ab48a9?j=eyJ1IjoiZTBpcSJ9.bWAl25BLPe62fl7RlezMOITuH1P4z_cuwPSwD9m_3WI" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Click here</a> to Don’t Force our Troops to March for Trump’s Ego</li> <li>Let Congress know: We demand dignity for our veterans. <a href="https://substack.com/redirect/9b0c3220-ad48-415a-90b7-fce3bdb05916?j=eyJ1IjoiZTBpcSJ9.bWAl25BLPe62fl7RlezMOITuH1P4z_cuwPSwD9m_3WI" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> </a><a href="https://substack.com/redirect/2027c0e2-0b48-4846-b24e-118a12908958?j=eyJ1IjoiZTBpcSJ9.bWAl25BLPe62fl7RlezMOITuH1P4z_cuwPSwD9m_3WI" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Click here</a> to Unite for Veterans</li> </ul> </li> <li> SHOW UP JUNE 6TH. <ul> <li>Let the world see our strength and solidarity. <a href="https://substack.com/redirect/9b0c3220-ad48-415a-90b7-fce3bdb05916?j=eyJ1IjoiZTBpcSJ9.bWAl25BLPe62fl7RlezMOITuH1P4z_cuwPSwD9m_3WI" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="https://substack.com/redirect/e0e70d8f-5be0-404a-99f7-aec3adfba6b6?j=eyJ1IjoiZTBpcSJ9.bWAl25BLPe62fl7RlezMOITuH1P4z_cuwPSwD9m_3WI" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Click here</a> to signup.</li> </ul> </li> <li> DONATE TO POWER THIS FIGHT. <ul> <li>As you know, People Power United doesn’t fundraise—because we believe in people power.

It is a shared promise—a commitment to courage, compassion, and community. That promise includes every veteran, every family, and every person willing to build something greater than themselves. Our veterans, their families, their children—they belong to us. They are our concern. Our neighbors. Our community. We will not abandon them. We will not forget them. We will not stop fighting for them. Rally with us. Stand with them. Rise for what’s right. When we needed them most, they had our back. Now is our turn to have their back. I look forward to seeing you there! <div class="addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content addtoany_content_bottom"><div class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="http://occupysf.net/index.php/2018/12/14/10615/"><a class="a2a_button_facebook" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Foccupysf.net%2Findex.php%2F2018%2F12%2F14%2F10615%2F&linkname=" title="Facebook" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_email" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/email?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Foccupysf.net%2Findex.php%2F2018%2F12%2F14%2F10615%2F&linkname=" title="Email" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_linkedin" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/linkedin?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Foccupysf.net%2Findex.php%2F2018%2F12%2F14%2F10615%2F&linkname=" title="LinkedIn" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save addtoany_share" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share"></a></div></div>America/Los_Angeles
