Help Us Make History

This Veterans Day on Nov 11th, deported veterans from across the country are coming together in New York City for the largest Veterans Day Parade in the country. For many of these brave men and women, this could be their final reunion on U.S. soil. The current political climate threatens their ability to stay in the country, due to the looming threat of a second deportation.

We are raising $20,000 to cover costs, including flights, travel, and accommodations for deported veterans to march in honor at the parade. These funds will help reunite veterans who have served honorably, but fear they will live in exile indefinitely. This parade is more than a celebration—it’s a chance to raise our voices together, to spotlight the injustice faced by deported veterans, and to advocate for their right to return permanently.

In addition to participating in the parade, we will host a special dinner for the veterans and screen the award-winning films Bring Them Home and American Exile. These films have captured their stories and struggles, providing a platform to those whose voices have been silenced for too long.

Together, we can make this momentous occasion possible and show the world the strength, resilience, and courage of our veterans.

Join us in making history. Your donation will help ensure these veterans can join the parade march, and continue to fight for justice on the largest Veterans Day stage in the nation.

Please donate now and help keep our heroes home!

As a thank you, any donation over $200 will receive a limited-edition commemorative "Thou Shall Not Deport Veterans" hoodie.
