“To be an activist is to speak. To be an advocate is to listen. Society can’t move forward without both.”

— Eva Lewis 

One crucial way Project Parity will be effective is through the use of story telling. Stories have been used for centuries to convey lessons, teach others, and share common experiences. By using the stories of others, Project Parity hopes to not only put a face to the issues that result from the disparity between Active Duty and Guard and Reserve servicemembers in relation to GI Bill benefits, but to also share the amazing power of education. 

We encourage all servicemembers, past and present, to take part in telling their story. We want to hear how your life was changed through access to the GI Bill or other VA Educational benefits. We want to hear how your journey could have been improved through additional access. We want to learn from you.

If you have a story you'd like to share, we are all ears!
