Legislative Action & Advocacy

Be Informed. Be Active. Be Heard.

As Legionnaires, we have a proud legacy of shaping the policies that affect veterans, service members, and their families. You don’t have to be in Washington to make a difference — your voice matters right here at home.

Why Get Involved?

The American Legion works closely with lawmakers to improve the lives of those who served. From health care and benefits to military quality of life and national security, our advocacy is only as strong as our membership’s participation.

Every call, email, or letter from constituents like you helps move the needle in Congress. Together, we protect the rights and dignity of those who have served.
