Defending Veterans on D-Day Rally

June 6, 2025, marks the 81st anniversary of D-Day, the day the Allied forces launched the biggest sea invasion with a singular goal: overthrow the fascists of Nazi Germany. This year, we will honor the many men who fought and died that day, and we will continue their fight – this time on America’s shores and in America’s streets. On Friday, June 6, veterans and their allies will join once again for a rally in front of the Marin Veterans Memorial Auditorium.

This rally will take place on the same day as the primary gathering on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., as well as in state capitols, large cities and small towns. Veterans and military family members are being fired by the thousands from federal jobs. Their healthcare is being gutted. Their benefits are under siege. We rally to:

Defend veteran and military family member employment in the federal workforce;

Stop the privatization and weakening of the Department of Veterans Affairs; and

Hold political leaders accountable for policies that harm veterans and their families.

The rally will include firsthand accounts from veterans and their providers on the difficulties they are experiencing in receiving and providing care.
