Our educational work this year centers on a weekly streaming show and podcast, Care Talk, now in its third season. We reach ~15-25,000 viewers per episode, and also share short-form video clips to counter health care misinformation. We educate the public on health care policy, the federal budget process and more. We also produce and distribute educational health care social media content for all the social platforms. We plan to offer more large scale free online media trainings for health care advocates as well.
Formed by some of the people who successfully fought off attacks on our health care in 2017, we’re organizing adults with serious medical conditions and health care activists across the country as a force for change. We are uplifting health care messaging to a disability focused audience nationally and in key states and regions through organic and paid content, as well as offering free media trainings to health care activists and storytellers.
Organizing adults with serious medical conditions to make health care more affordable and available for all.

Five days before Veterans Day, and just months after their Independence Day 2024 founding, Independent Veterans of America (IVA) celebrated a historic performance by eleven IVA-endorsed candidates in five states. IVA supported independent veteran candidates at all levels — from local school boards to the US Senate. And we sent shockwaves across the political world by winning an unprecedented 36% of our races.
IVA is the first organization in American history to focus specifically on recruiting, supporting and electing independent and unaffiliated veteran candidates and incumbents. We are a full spectrum education, support, advocacy and election machine with a 501 c4, a 527/PAC and have 501 c3 fiscal sponsorship.
