Common Defense is uniting veterans across party lines to ensure Vice President Kamala Harris becomes the next President of the United States. This is the only veteran-led effort with a track record of reaching voters through high-impact grassroots organizing, earned media, and visibility actions. In the remaining phase of the election, Common Defense will target voters in five key states which will determine the White House and control of Congress and use our twelve organizing staff and our “Corps” of 670 existing trained in-state super-volunteers to mobilize military veterans to support the Democratic ticket using an array of tactics. We aim to persuade the critical constituency of swing voters especially suburban, patriotic, working class and middle class voters who are a decisive component of reconstructing the anti-MAGA coalition.
