Where The Military-Connected Community Meets The Political Process
For too long, the issues facing veterans, service members, and military families have been talked about without them in the room. Our Candidate Roundtable Initiative changes that.
Advocates from NYC's military-connected community sit down directly with candidates running for office, in their districts, to surface what matters, ask hard questions, and find out where candidates actually stand. Not after the election, but before it.
These aren't town halls or meet-and-greets. They're working conversations, designed to build relationships that carry into office.
Open to NYC's Full Military-Connected Community

More Than Just A Seat At The Table
Direct Access to Candidates
Face-to-face time with candidates running in your district, a chance to raise the issues that matter to you and hear real answers.
A Leadership Role in Public Policy
These roundtables build working relationships before candidates take office. The people in the room now are the community leaders they'll remember later.
Real Advocacy
You aren't just attending, you're representing NYC's military-connected community and actively shaping how candidates understand your issues.
