More than 30,000 troops have died by suicide since 9/11.
40,000 veterans are unhoused on any given night.
This Veteran’s Day, let’s not just thank those who have served. Let’s commit to building a country where our veterans have the support they need to thrive.

At some point our country must meaningfully acknowledge that the killings of
Ahmaud Arbery,
Sean Reed,
Sandra Bland,
Tamir Rice,
Trayvon Martin,
Eric Garner,
Rekia Boyd,
Tanisha Anderson,
and countless others are not isolated incidents or “bad apples.”
It is systemic violence.

I asked @TerryCrews why he didn’t use his considerable strength to fight back when he was sexually assaulted. His answer is a powerful reminder of how victims are too often forced into silence to avoid damaging their careers or reputations. We need to hear the truth.
