This session examines the critical advocacy efforts undertaken by Veteran Service Organizations at both federal and state levels to champion the rights and needs of veterans and their families. Participants will explore legislative strategies, policy initiatives, and grassroots campaigns that drive systemic change, improve access to benefits and services, and ensure veterans receive the support they've earned through their service. Learn how VSOs navigate complex government systems, build coalitions with lawmakers, and mobilize communities to create lasting impact for the veteran population across the United States.
