American Legion Auxiliary members work to keep veterans' issues in front of legislators, strengthening our mission to serve veterans, the military and their families.
Each year, the Auxiliary convenes its Washington DC Conference in conjunction with The American Legion’s annual meeting in our nation’ s capital to review The American Legion’s legislative priorities and advise members how to be better advocates for those issues with their own state’s Congressional legislators. Armed with information and enthusiasm, Auxiliary members “take to The Hill” to make their voices heard. The Legislative program periodically provides members with specific reasons to contact their legislators and provides them with summaries about issues of importance to our veterans.
While we may think that one voice may not make a difference on its own, that one voice added to the voice of others with the same goals and sentiments quickly becomes a collective power of influence that can impact the decisions of our elected officials. Joining together, Auxiliary members can and do make a difference when they advocate for veterans, the military and their families.
Purpose Statement To train and inform our members to become grassroots advocates for veterans and their families with local, state, and national elected officials, supporting the Legislative agenda and initiatives of The American Legion.
