The United States Department of Veterans Affairs and the NAACP announced an agreement to work together to advance and improve the quality of life for all veterans, including minority veterans. As a part of the partnership, the VA and the NAACP will seek to increase the number of Black veterans enrolled in VA health care, increase awareness of VA benefits and services among Black veterans, and increase recruitment of culturally competent providers. The VA and the NAACP will also meet regularly, share expertise and knowledge, and coordinate outreach to minority veteran communities.
Chair of Armed Services and Veterans Affairs Dr. Antwanisha Willamson-Berlus, Executive Pastor of BayNorth Church of Christ Sam Morris, and Lt. Colonel (Ret.) Kathy Gallowitz discusses the importance of providing accessible services and outreach that supports the veteran community, shares how organizations such as the NAACP and CAN offer their support to veterans, and how you can take action and embrace this community by getting involved in veteran outreach at both the local and national levels.
