Vets on the Capitol Steps

Overview

Each day, volunteers around the country are making phone calls, talking to neighbors at their front doors, and gathering at local town halls to discuss the veterans’ issues they’re passionate about solving. Now we’re ready to brief lawmakers on our efforts and urge them to get these critical legislative solutions across the finish line.

Vets on the Hill (VOTH) is CVA’s annual effort to amplify the voices of veterans from around the country, educate congressional offices and members on key issues and positions, and lobby for policies important to the veteran and military communities. It allows us to connect Congress to veterans’ perspectives on the issues facing our country and the impact of our grassroots infrastructure.

Take a look below to see what we are doing this year and how you can help the effort with Virtual VOTH!
