Counter-Disinformation Program - is a nonpartisan initiative dedicated to combating the spread of disinformation and extremism in veteran and military communities. The program supports a team of journalists, including several military veterans, to report on anti-democratic extremist groups and narratives and engage directly with the community online to counter extremist recruitment efforts.
Disability inclusion program - MVJ launched a speakers bureau of military veterans to advocate for better coverage of military and veteran affairs.
