About

We are an organization of highly dedicated US military veterans. Pacific Northwest Common Defense (PNW CD) encompasses Washington and Oregon and is a regional branch of the national Common Defense (CD) organization. Nationally CD membership is approximately 275,000 veterans. Led by a Regional Organizing Committee (ROC), PNW CD embraces the progressive values we share with our Common Defense veteran brothers and sisters nationwide. Our veterans work to create communities free of violence, racism and inequity, where our fellow citizens can participate in their local government bodies and achieve a fair degree of self-determination. We are a grassroots movement of veterans engaged to grow an inclusive democracy where liberty and justice are real.
