What the Boss Likes – Veterans March June 6, Washington DC

Found out about this on Richard Carrier’s blog:

“Hundreds of thousands of veterans (half of them disabled) are losing their jobs, including 86,000 jobs at the VA alone (that includes the 6000 there that Trump already fired). Trump is still funding the VA records modernization project, but gutting its IT department (a contradictory move). He is cutting some veteran benefits, and though his budget claims to boost a few others, those plans seem disingenuous, as they contradict other directives that entail net losses in the same programs. We went through this before, when he gutted nearly every veteran’s program his first term; so we know what Trump really means to do. Military.com has a balanced story about all this by Patricia Kime: “Veterans Organizing ‘Call to Action’ Rally.”

One of the organizing committees for this protest is Unite for Veterans. We will march on the national mall the afternoon of Friday, June 6—the 80th anniversary of D-Day…and the week before Donald Trump’s North-Korea-Style birthday military parade. The hope is to rally far more than the 6,000 troops he will be ordering to march for him then.”

Would like to go to this but perhaps there will be a version locally.
