100% on the New York City Council & @NYCVeterans. This wont work either "There is a significant gap between the number who receive federal benefits from the Veterans Affairs (VA) and those who live in NYC —just 16.5%— compared to the national average of 27.8%." qns.com/2024/07/city-b…

Friday the 13th will be a lucky day on Sept. 13 -- since that is the day of the Veterans Outreach Center Stand Down & Job Fair! Under one roof, #Veterans receive individualized assistance w/Veterans' benefits, employment, health care, legal help, and more! Register here: veteransoutreachcenter.org/standdown2024
Libraries are our best places for resources in addition to offering many classes / programs for all ages. NY Public Library Brooklyn Public Library Queens Public Library
The Vet Voice Foundation is a nonpartisan nonprofit org, although it tends to take progressive stances on certain issues. It came out in support of the VA when the agency said it would provide abortion services to members. lawandcrime.com/lawsuit/serves…
