Veterans are literally DEI. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
👇
Veterans are 6% of the adult population but 30% of the federal workforce (they get preference in hiring).

Which means Trump and Musk are already firing thousands of people who put their lives at risk for their country, many with disabilities they acquired in their service.

Stand up for trans rights too! Our existence is backed by science, our medical care is backed by science, and we are watching research being erased from government websites now. It's a book burning like Herschfeldt's library on a digital scale.
WHERE WILL YOU BE IN 4 DAYS?

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.
