This is the #DemPartyPlatform for 2020. This part is called: Keeping Faith with Our Veterans and Military Families
Only one party believes that our force is stronger when we treat our service members, veterans, and their families with the dignity they’ve earned. 1/11

#Democrats will combat veteran homelessness, including by converting VA facilities into housing.
Twenty veterans and service members take their life every day. We will treat suicide as the public health crisis it is. 2/11 #DemPartyPlatform #Veterans

Today, only half of Afghanistan and Iraq veterans have access to the mental health services they need. 3/11 #DemPartyPlatform #Veterans #VeteransHealth

That’s why #Democrats will invest in mental health and suicide prevention services, and work with our military communities to encourage and support those seeking help, connecting them to critical services. 4/11 #DemPartyPlatform #Veterans #VeteransHealth

#Democrats will provide the hundreds of thousands of service members that transition to civilian life with the support they need. Democrats will not abide exploitation of our veterans, especially by for-profit colleges that raid benefits and burden veterans with debt.5/11

#Democrats believe that we can’t maintain the force we need unless we take care of military families—who have been asked to endure so much for so long, with far too little support. 6/11 #DemPartyPlatform #MilitaryFamilies

No military family should struggle to pay their bills, put food on the table, or access health care, quality housing, child care, or the workforce. 7/11

#Democrats will ensure pay and compensation keep pace with the current economy. 8/11 #DemPartyPlatform #Military #MilitaryFamilies

#Democrats will expand tax credits to help family caregivers of our veterans, and ensure they receive the support they need from the #VA and Department of Defense. ​10/11 #DemPartyPlatform #MilitaryFamilies #Veterans

And #Democrats will support efforts across the country to help veterans and military families thrive, enrich, and strengthen their communities and our nation. 11/11
