A just world that empowers minority veterans exists only when there is true equality among our ranks both in service and as private citizens.
TRUTH To Power
Our Stories,
Our Truth
Minority Veterans of America was built as a space in which minority veterans could come together to share in connection and to fight for justice for our collective communities. Along the way, we have built different platforms to speak our collective truth and to speak truth to power.
The lived experiences of minority veterans are riddled with contradictions such as the pride we feel for having served our country coupled with the impacts of the systems of oppression that intersect in our lives to keep us marginalized. This is why we started Our Stories, Our Truth. Our Stories, Our Truth began as a blog but has since grown to include open mic style events where members of the community share stories of their service and post-military lives.
