Everett, WA Solidarity with 3/14/25 D.C. Veterans March
***This event welcomes ALL veterans and people who support them. Not only women or men vets, not just newer or older vets. Anyone who cares about the oath they took for the country is a veteran for our purposes. Please spread the word - especially to any veteran in your world who has not been part of civic action like this before! This is easy! "Free PT!"***
Hey fellow veterans! And hello to our friends and allies.
The US Dept of Veterans Affairs is under attack, along with our constitutional republic.

In accordance with the first amendment of our US Constitution, we’re turning out publicly to show that we veterans of the United States took an oath to our country and meant what we said! And we don't support hasty cuts to the VA.
I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; bear true faith and allegiance to the same
WHY 3/14? Because Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution says this blue falcon is not eligible to serve. The Veterans March in D.C. is being held on 3/14 to point out the grave disconnect between what should be and what is, so ours is also that day in solidarity. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/04/us/politics/scotus-trump-14th-amendment.html
Bring tasteful signs or just come hang out at this peaceful sidewalk gathering. We'll build connections, strategize, show our appreciation to local VA staff (the new CBOC is just one block away!), and let our neighbors know we remember our oath, and we're not going anywhere.
We support the Constitution and the VA. We oppose a dictatorship and cuts to the VA. If you’re done watching in horror from the sidelines, or if you're ready for a unique meet up with local military brothers and sisters, this is your moment.
Fascists want us divided. We’re joining together instead!

The address provided is the VA Puget Sound CBOC in Everett/Mukilteo area. There is a major intersection just a block from there where we'll spend most of our time waving at passing vehicles.
**Note: Our objective is to tell our regional neighbors that veterans are here, we're paying attention, we take our oath seriously, and we won't stand for a threat to the constitution that we served to protect and defend. We are NOT protesting or disrupting the VA, its facilities, nor its patients/visitors. We're all on the same side here: USA. **
Please leave the rockstar parking at the VA or surrounding properties and businesses for patients and visitors. We are committed to staying out of the way of building access and nearby traffic flow, ensuring we park and protest respectfully. **There is one exception to this "do not park" rule: Our Saviors Lutheran Church has been kind enough to let us park in their lot AFTER 12:45 on FRIDAY. Thanks to them and Pastor Rev Squires for welcoming us there.**
Thank you for your service in uniform, and thank you in advance for coming out to serve once again.
