We Fight
For The 4 Million.
Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America is the leading nonprofit, nonpartisan voice for the post-9/11 generation of veterans. More than 400,000 members strong.
We're fighting for:
Veterans’ Health Care
While the VA delivers care that often meets or exceeds private-sector standards, veterans still face fragmented community care, inconsistent mental health access, suicide risk, claims backlogs, and uneven implementation of toxic exposure benefits under the PACT Act.
Learn moreEconomic Stability for Veterans and Their Families
Veterans demonstrate strong employment and homeownership rates overall, yet significant disparities persist—particularly for women veterans, veterans of color, disabled veterans, and single-parent households.
Learn moreAfghan Allies and National Security
Supporting Afghan allies is both a moral obligation and a national security imperative. The unfinished evacuation and Special Immigrant Visa backlog have left tens of thousands in limbo, while veterans report deep moral injury tied to perceived abandonment of wartime partners.
Learn moreEquity for Women Veterans
Women are the fastest-growing segment of the veteran population, yet persistent inequities remain in health care access, claims processing, and research inclusion. Ongoing gaps include inconsistent access to reproductive health services, high denial rates for MST claims, and a lack of menopause and aging research.
Learn moreStrengthening and Protecting Civic Engagement
Veterans consistently express concern about democratic institutions, voting access, misinformation, and preservation of civil rights. For veterans, democracy is not abstract—it is tied directly to the oath they swore to defend the Constitution.
