The Chamberlain Network First Anniversary Celebration
Location: Foggy Bottom, Washington, D.C. (Exact location provided upon registration)
Just over a year ago, we began with a mission: to elevate veterans as trusted messengers and civic leaders in defense of our democracy. We could never have imagined all that we have been able to accomplish in just over a year. Since last August, we’ve:
Brought 10,000 veterans to Washington, D.C. through the Unite for Veterans rally to demand accountability in support of federal jobs, veteran healthcare, and essential VA services.
Opposed the use of troops in civilian law enforcement in Los Angeles, D.C., and beyond
Launched campaigns centering veteran voice and experiences on issues like the importance of overseas voting, opposing the January 6 pardons, and challenging the use of the military in immigration enforcement
And we’ve only just begun! We couldn’t have done any of this without you. As a thank you, we’d like to invite you to join us for a special evening to celebrate all that we have accomplished together.
Refreshments will be provided.
Ground Game: So You Want to Be a Poll Worker?
Location: Virtual
Every election depends on the everyday Americans who step up to serve as poll workers. Join us for a conversation with We The Veterans to learn what it’s really like on the front lines of democracy. You’ll hear firsthand stories, get practical guidance on how to sign up in your community, and leave ready to play your part in protecting free and fair elections.
This session is part of TCN's “Ground Game” webinar series on how you can get civically involved locally. Whether you’re a veteran seeking your next mission or a concerned citizen ready to act, this is where the civic rubber meets the road.

Ground Game: Should You Run? Please Don’t (Unless You Should)
Location: Virtual
Join us for a conversation with political strategist Eva Posner for a deep dive into what you should consider if you’d like to run for office.
We’ll have a candid, no-nonsense conversation about the realities of stepping into public life. Through personal stories and hard-earned lessons, we’ll explore the tough questions you need to ask yourself before deciding to run for office. If you’re feeling called to political service or just curious, this session will help you make a clear, grounded decision.
This session is part of TCN’s “Ground Game” webinar series — whether you’re a veteran seeking your next mission or a concerned citizen ready to act, this is where the civic rubber meets the road.

Ground Game: What the Hell Is Local Government?
Location: Virtual
Local government often decides what gets built, funded, or ignored in your community. But most people don’t know how it works—or where to start getting involved. This session kicks off TCN’s “Ground Game” webinar series with a deep dive into the hidden gears of local power. From school boards to zoning commissions, we’ll break down who holds the reins—and how you can pull up a chair to the table.
Join us for a conversation with current veteran civic leaders for a clear-eyed, nonpartisan look at how local democracy actually functions—and why it’s one of the most impactful ways to serve your community. Whether you’re a veteran seeking your next mission or a concerned citizen ready to act, this is where the civic rubber meets the road.

NDAA Training
Location: Virtual
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is an annual law that Congress passes to authorize funding and establish policies for national defense. It covers things like: the Department of Defense (DOD), nuclear weapons programs at the Department of Energy (DOE), defense intelligence programs, and other defense activities of the federal government (e.g., military construction projects, homeland security programs).
The NDAA is one of the few laws that Congress almost always agrees on and passes every year. Because of that, it’s also a popular way for members of Congress to try to get other defense-related ideas or changes into law. The Chamberlain Network and Center for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC) are hosting an NDAA training to help you understand this legislative vehicle -- how the process unfolds and how you can make your voice heard.
Register here to join our training.

We’ll be talking about how veterans can work together to strengthen our democracy, support one another, and show up for immigrant communities through mutual aid and local organizing. Whether you’ve been involved in civic work for years or are just beginning to think about how to plug in, you’re welcome here.
This is a casual, off-the-record event designed to build relationships and spark collaboration among those who share a common commitment to service and community.

Unite for Veterans March
Location: Virtual
The Chamberlain Network is a proud partner of the Unite for Veterans rally. Veterans and military family members are being fired by the thousands from federal jobs. Our healthcare is being gutted. Our benefits are under siege. This isn't the first time veterans have had to fight for what was promised. From the Bonus Army of 1932 to the battles for the GI Bill and Agent Orange care, veterans have always led the charge for justice.
Now, it's our turn.
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
Hold political leaders accountable for policies that harm veterans and their families
