Advocacy in action means veterans have a seat at the table. Last week in Topeka, Kansas, @WWP brought veterans and stakeholders together for a warrior policy roundtable focused on issues affecting the veteran community. These conversations help ensure veterans' voices are heard by leaders who help drive change. Thank you to staff from the offices of @JerryMoran and @DerekSchmidtKS for participating in this important discussion. We also appreciate Warrior Advocate Leader Brent Whitten for sharing his perspective and helping lead the conversation.

A new analysis projects an 8.2% decline in veteran homelessness in 2026. These findings are encouraging. While the full picture is still emerging and year-to- year differences should be kept in mind, the results point to meaningful progress in helping veterans access stable housing and supportive services. More work remains to ensure every veteran has a safe, stable place to call home. Read more here: military.com/veteran-homeles… @Militarydotcom

More than 75 veterans, advocates, and elected officials gathered yesterday at @WWP's Warrior Policy Roundtable at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. The discussion created a direct dialogue between veterans and policymakers on key issues affecting veterans and their families, including the Major Richard Star Act and improving access to care in rural communities. "I've never seen this many veterans in one room in my district," said @RepBaumgartner. Thank you to Warrior Advocate Leader Lani Kelp for organizing and moderating this impactful discussion.

Creating lasting change takes engagement at every level of government. @WWP works with policymakers nationwide to champion policies and programs that improve the lives of veterans and their families. Earlier this fall, we hosted a lunch-and-learn in Providence, Rhode Island, with staff from the offices of @RepGabeAmo and @SenWhitehouse. We thank everyone who attended, and we give special thanks to Warrior Advocate Leader Robert Campagnone for joining the discussion.

Bringing veterans and stakeholders together for candid conversations helps turn veterans’ experiences into informed policy solutions. Recently, in Portland, Maine, @WWP hosted a warrior policy roundtable where veterans and stakeholders had candid conversations about the issues affecting them, and what resources are available. We appreciate the offices of @SenAngusKing and @SenatorCollins for participating in this important conversation. We also thank Warrior Advocate Leader Nicole Lyon for being part of the conversation.

Adaptive sports do more than keep veterans active. They help support physical health, mental well-being, and social connection. That's why @WWP supports the Veterans Supporting Prosthetics Opportunities and Recreation Therapy (SPORT) Act, which would expand access to sports and recreational prosthetics through VA. Every veteran deserves the opportunity to participate. To learn more, visit: woundedwarriorproject.org/me…

Advocacy happens at every level of government. That's why @WWP continues to engage policymakers across the country on issues and programs that matter most to veterans and their families. Last month, we hosted a lunch-and-learn in Connecticut with staff from the offices of @RepJohnLarson, @RepJoeCourtney, @rosadelauro, @jahimes, @RepJahanaHayes, and @SenBlumenthal, where we discussed our programs and services. Thank you to all who joined us. A special shoutout to Warrior Advocate Leader James Richards for contributing to a meaningful and impactful discussion.

Great news! Social Security beneficiaries, military retirees, and people receiving veteran benefits will see a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) increase in 2027, helping their benefits keep pace with inflation. Learn more at the link below.

Endurance and determination were on full display this weekend at the 42nd Annual Army Ten-Miler. @WWP was proud to support this incredible event and connect with participants, volunteers, and supporters throughout the day. Congratulations to everyone who crossed the finish line!

We are proud to be part of #AUSA2026! @WWP teammates connected with attendees and shared information about the programs and services that support Service members, veterans, and their families. Attending the event? Stop by our booth and say hello!

Women veterans must receive the support and care they have earned.  @WWP thanks @JohnBoozman for supporting The Veterans' Outcomes, Inclusion, Care and Experience (VOICE) for Women Veterans Act. Your leadership helps provide women veterans with the support and care they have earned.

Advocacy starts with veterans sharing their personal stories. At the 2026 Women Warriors Summit, more than 100 warriors met with lawmakers and advocated for policies that strengthen care and benefits for women veterans. #WWPAdvocacy

Educating congressional district offices about @WWP programs and services helps strengthen support for veterans and their families. Recently, we hosted a lunch-and-learn in Boston with staff from the offices of @RepRichardNeal, @RepLoriTrahan, @RepAuchincloss, @RepMoulton, @WhipClark, @USRepKeating, and @SenWarren. Thanks to all who attended.

Veterans and military families deserve strong support as they navigate the transition to civilian life. Thank you, Sen. @AlexPadilla4CA and @SenatorTimScott, for introducing the bipartisan BRIDGE Act to establish a pilot program that allows families and transitioning service members to learn about peer support, community resources, and personalized assistance together to help them thrive beyond military service.

Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer among women veterans. At last week's Women Warriors Summit, @WWP women warriors urged Congress to expand access to breast cancer screening by supporting flexible screening options, especially for veterans in rural and underserved communities. The Mammography Access for Veterans Act of 2025 would permanently authorize VA's telescreening mammography program and help more veterans access lifesaving screenings nationwide. Expanding access to timely care saves lives. #WWPAdvocacy

Connecting veterans with care can save lives. @DeptVetAffairs’ newest National Veteran Suicide Prevention Annual Report shows that veterans enrolled in VA health care experience lower suicide rates. These findings reinforce why we must continue breaking down barriers to care and reaching veterans who may need support. Every veteran deserves to know they are not alone.
