Save Our VA

Content: The VA is not for sale. On 9 June at 7:00 P.M., Pilsen Community Books in Chicago is hosting an urgent conversation about the fight to protect veterans' healthcare from privatization. Speakers include authors Suzanne Gordon, Steve Early, and Rory Fanning, along with Victor LaGroon, the first-ever Chief Diversity Officer at the Department of Veterans Affairs, who resigned in 2023 after his office was targeted by political attacks. This is a moment that calls for veterans, healthcare advocates, labor organizers, and community members to be in the same room.
