Welcome to Advocacy in Action, MOAA’s annual campaign to bring our top priorities to Capitol Hill.

As the 119th Congress gets to work, MOAA is ready to champion critical issues for the uniformed services and veterans’ communities. MOAA asks you to send a message to lawmakers to stand up for members of the eight uniformed services, veterans, retirees, and families.

Speak up from wherever you are — at home or on the Hill along with hundreds of other MOAA members and staff who will gather in Washington, D.C., April 9.

“Advocacy isn’t just a one-day event. It’s a year-round effort, and every voice matters,” said Maj. Gen. April Vogel, USAF (Ret), MOAA vice president of Government Relations. “Whether you’re walking the halls of Congress, meeting with legislators in your district, or reaching out from home, your engagement shapes the policies that affect our community.”

Legislators need to hear and understand why MOAA’s priorities matter. With a new congressional session underway, many MOAA members might find themselves represented by new lawmakers — whether due to redistricting, retirements, or election results. This change presents a valuable opportunity to connect with your legislators and advocate for the uniformed services community.

“Lawmakers listen when their constituents speak up, and by using MOAA’s Legislative Action Center, you can make sure they hear you loud and clear,” Vogel said. “Every call, email, and conversation helps move the needle.”

MOAA’s priorities for the 119th Congress reflect our commitment to protect compensation and benefits, ensure access to top-tier DoD and VA health care, and address the unique challenges military families and veterans face. These efforts underscore MOAA’s unwavering dedication to those who serve and have served.
