News Update: Confidential Support Available for Military and National Guard Members Facing Unlawful Orders

A Growing Threat to Democracy
There is increasing awareness that the misuse of military force on U.S. soil — whether for suppressing dissent, enforcing political agendas, or other unconstitutional actions — poses a serious threat to the core principles of American democracy. Such actions undermine civilian control of the military, threaten civil liberties, and risk leading the nation toward authoritarianism.

Confidential Support for Service Members
To address these concerns, About Face Veterans has launched a confidential support platform specifically designed for military personnel and National Guard members who may feel pressured or coerced into actions that conflict with their oath or the Constitution.
​
If you are a service member facing such pressures, know that you are not alone. You can access discreet, peer, or legal support by from About Face Veterans - Military Support and submit the secure Military Support Request Form. The platform provides a safe space to discuss concerns, seek advice, and explore your rights without fear of retaliation.
