The Common Defense Education Fund is a national organization of American veterans, family members, and civilian supporters dedicated to building an equitable democracy that advances social, racial, environmental, and economic justice. Through weekly membership calls, trainings, and programming, the more than 300,000 members of their network are able to build community, sharpen their organizing skills, and utilize their veteran voice to advocate for issues that matter to them. One prominent program that the Common Defense Education Fund runs is the nonpartisan Veterans Organizing Institute, which supports the leadership development of their pro-democracy veteran members through grassroots organizing and political analysis training.
