🚨 URGENT: 48 Hours to Reach 5K or We Must Close the Petition 🚨
 
Supporters,

First, thank you. Because of your incredible dedication, we have reached 3,879 signatures. This is a massive achievement, and every single name brings us closer to getting the attention this cause deserves.

However, we are facing a critical, make-or-break deadline.

The March 10th Milestone

To stay on track for our ultimate goal of 10,000 signatures by March 31st—the critical number we need to secure major news outlet coverage—we must reach 5,000 signatures by March 10th. If we do not hit this 5K milestone in the next two days, we will unfortunately have to close the petition, as we will no longer be on pace for the necessary media push.

We are exactly 1,121 signatures short. Closing that gap in 48 hours is a tough challenge, but it is entirely possible if we all act right now. We need an immediate, massive push from everyone who has already signed.

How You Can Help Save This Campaign Today:

Share Directly: Send the link (change.org/54kveterans) via text or email to at least 3 friends, family members, or colleagues and ask them to sign today.
Post on Social Media: Share the link on Facebook, X, LinkedIn, or Instagram. Explain why this matters to you—personal stories are the number one driver of new signatures.
Tap into Networks: Share the petition in veteran support groups, community forums, or local community pages where people are likely to rally behind this cause.
Time is running out, but the momentum is still in our hands. Let's make this final push count and get this in front of the news outlets by the end of the month.

Thank you for standing with us.
