The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) is working with local, regional and other national organizations in conducting a national campaign to help protect Latino servicemembers who are being targeted by others within their ranks. The goal is to build national support for The Brandon Act, to help men and women in uniform experiencing a mental health crisis. Often, this is because of attacks by others in their units and the victims’ fear that speaking out will lead to retaliation.
LULAC wants to highlight the importance of safety in the military ranks through a comprehensive Save Our Servicemembers (SOS) Campaign on legislation introduced this year all for the sake of protection and prevention of America’s troops. Several important initiatives are underway including:
- Veterans Deportation and Prevention Act (Rep. Mark Takano, D-CA)
- Brandon Act (Rep. Seth Moulton, D-MA)
- Military Justice Improvement Act (Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-NY)
- I Am Vanessa Guillen Act (Rep. Jackie Speier, D-CA)
