Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA)

Happy birthday to the US Navy! Celebrating 249 years of service today, thank you for keeping our seas safe. IAVA salutes Navy veterans everywhere. We're proud to have a few swabbies on our staff including Bea Davis, MBA, Jeff Sigler and Kaitlynne Yancy. #VetsRising #NavyBirthday

I am excited that democracyFIRST and Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) are continuing their 'Pints and Patriotism' tour and are coming to the great state of North Carolina. Don't let the IAVA name mislead you—this is a veteran-centric, non-partisan organization dedicated to advocating for policies and legislation that benefit all veterans, regardless of their service background. Our founding fathers often had their best conversations over a drink at the local tavern. Let's continue that tradition. I hope to see you there! #vetsrising #IAVACavalry #IAVAVotes #DemocracyFirst

Last night #IAVACavalry’s newest members crushed a second night of training. ?? Speakers included IAVA Fellow Michael Matos to share about his experiences in the Cavalry, a social media training from our Digital Communications Manager Olivia Whitaker and a great lesson on organizing from Punya Krishnappa. Thanks to Punya for sharing your skills with the October cohort and seasoned IAVA Cavalry members who joined us! Proud of all these #VetsRising for their awesome work ?? Allison Jaslow

Proud to be among the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) members selected to be part of this year's cohort of the #IAVACavalry! The training I've received from IAVA over the last couple weeks has been truly amazing, and will help in furthering my advocacy efforts moving forward; particularly on IAVA's "Big 6" priority goals centered around the policy issues our members care about most! Huge shout out to Bea Davis, MBA and Rodger J. Pinto for the work you continue to do for veterans nationwide! IAVA is lucky to have you! #IAVACavalry #VetsRising #advocacy

Great chatting about our work at Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) and how TikTok can help fuel it — and empower our veteran members just the same — at the Military Influencer conference in Atlanta yesterday. Joe Mendrala let’s do one of these again soon!

The newest members of the #IAVACavalry kicked off their training with communications and media expert Jess McIntosh. Jess teaches IAVA Cavalry members how to use their personal stories - every vet has one - to talk about important policy. ?? We're proud and pumped to give these #VetsRising the tools they need to advocate for our community.

One of the most rewarding things I have gotten to do. They will do amazing things.
