Welcome to today’s Banner & Backbone Vet Talk — Escalating Engagements! Evan Fields is an Army Veteran, advocate, writer of News from Underground, and contributor on Lincoln Square.
Ways to Engage
Get involved in your local community and systems!
Run For Something — show interest in running for a local or state office AND learn how to run a campaign itself.
Even if you don’t want to run for office yourself, this will teach you the skills needed to offer active, engaged support for other candidates.
Indivisible — founded in response to Trump’s election - but we know that Trump is a symptom of a sick democracy, not its cause.
Common Defense — the largest grassroots membership organization of progressive veterans standing up for our communities against the rising tide of racism, hate, and violence.
Thank you Banner & Backbone, Noble Blend, TheGoldenMean, Beth Cruz, Nancy Bainter, and many others for tuning into my live video with guest Evan Fields and host Frederic Poag and Nick Paro!
