Share Your Coast Guard Story for the Parity Acts
We’re gathering firsthand stories from Coast Guard personnel, civilian staff, contractors, and their families in New York City to support the Pay Our Coast Guard Parity legislation currently before Congress (H.R. 1542 in the House and S. 802 in the Senate).
These bills would ensure that, during any future funding lapse or government shutdown, Coast Guard members and related staff still receive pay, benefits, and essential protectionsjust as other military and defense personnel do.
Your experiences, especially if you’ve already lived through a shutdown or are worried about one in the future, help us make the human case to NYC’s congressional delegation, in partnership with the Navy League.
