Organizer: Worker Power, VetsForward
Click here for more information and to RSVP This year, thousands of workers at Tucson's Veterans' Administration saw their jobs on the line, when Rep. Juan Ciscomani and Secretary Collins toured the Tucson VA facility and contemplated how they might achieve the Trump administration's 15% cuts.
Meanwhile, cuts to the federal workforce are disproportionately impacting veterans and their families, as one out of every 10 employed veterans works for the federal government.
How can we fight back and demand care for those who were willing to sacrifice everything?
Join us for this Town Hall with VetsForward to discuss all things veterans!
