It's a feel-good celebration on social media. AKA cannot be missed

Such a great event! Thanks for having me to talk about how to frame organizing in any community and particularly in the military community!

"As the U.S. nears the 20-year anniversary of the war in Afghanistan, the Pentagon can no longer take for granted the resiliency of military families to make bad or careless policies work. We have given up too much, made too many personal and familial sacrifices, and are tired."

Adding more military family voices to DoD advisory boards benefits the entire military community. Our experience is unique and our insights invaluable. militarytimes.com/opinion/commen…

SFI volunteer Amanda Grill is working tirelessly to fight for the inclusion of military family members on DoD Advisory Boards, and she makes the case for why in this persuasive OpEd on Military Times. militarytimes.com/opinion/commen… .

"With seats at every table for family members, the DoD would acknowledge those efforts, but more importantly, it would demonstrate that it truly values us as partners and stakeholders in the national defense." - Amanda Grill militarytimes.com/opinion/commen…

"In return, the armed forces will have new insights, make better-informed decisions, be more targeted in their programs, and have buy-in from the full military community. That’s a force multiplier." militarytimes.com/opinion/commen…

Not just words but action on this issue. I signed a Action Network petition: Include Military Family Voices on DoD Advisory Boards. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/incl…

If you feel so inspired, please consider signing our petition and sharing with your networks. We have a narrow window of time to encourage DoD advisory boards to codify the inclusion of our voices. Thank you! actionnetwork.org/petitions/incl…

As any college student would tell you, voting concerts are awesome and there should be more of them in support of more voting. Win-win

And we are already starting the process of adding family voices into decision-making at the DoD with a petition calling on Sec. Austin to change the board composition. actionnetwork.org/petitions/incl…

Yes! Hubs is prioritizing sleep over PT right now, just to try maintain work function, but that's going to bite him in the... erhm...PFT very soon. 14/15 hour work days while in garrison are unsupportable.

Excited to be talking about HOW to organize in a military community context with Secure Families Initiative Join us tonight!

Agreed!

Glad it resonated with you! Stakeholder engagement is widely accepted, but a framework that is not applied to military families and that needs to change.

Hub's WFH secret, and mine now too, is Spanish guitar music. I swear I went from typing 45 wpm to 55 wpm just to keep pace.
