"We must advocate for all veterans and their families—not quietly, not
occasionally, but boldly and consistently. Let your voice be heard on Capitol Hill and in
your own state. If you have not signed up for DAV CAN, the Commander’s Action
Network, I strongly encourage you to sign up today. When we stay informed, when we
act, when we speak together, our voices become stronger than any one of us alone."
Auxiliary National Commander Kathleen Wenthe 2026-27
Advocacy gives our mission a voice. DAV Auxiliary members can help protect and strengthen the benefits, services, and policies that affect disabled veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors. By staying informed, participating in legislative programs, supporting DAV priorities, and encouraging others to take action, we help ensure the needs of veterans remain heard at every level.

Legislative advocacy is an important part of serving disabled veterans and their families, but members do not have to navigate it alone. DAVCAN.org, the DAV Commander’s Action Network, provides the official tools and information members need to stay informed about legislative priorities, understand the issues affecting veterans, and take meaningful action with lawmakers.
As part of the Adjutants & Commanders Connection, we encourage members to use DAVCAN.org throughout the year and especially as they prepare for Mid-Winter Conference in Washington, D.C. Staying informed before we gather helps make our collective voice stronger when we advocate in person. Use the button below to visit DAVCAN.org, review current legislative priorities, and take action in support of America’s disabled veterans and their families.
