For those who missed the action this weekend, please take a look and get involved in one of the three important organizations.
Democracy Fund is a bipartisan nonprofit that invests in organizations working to ensure our political system delivers on its promise to the American people. Founded
by eBay creator Pierre Omidyar, Democracy Fund has already invested more than $50 million and is now stepping up in a big way to support a robust, free press. Democracy Fund and its partners at First Look Media announced $12 million in grants to support press freedom.

NS2 Serves is an independent, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization run by Mark Testoni, the President of SAP National Security Services, Inc. SAP NS2® to give back
to the community SAP serves by training and employing veterans in high-tech careers. As its signature initiative, NS2 Serves offers training and employment assistance to recent veterans of U.S. national security missions. The course is open to post-9/11 U.S. military service veterans and reservists (including disabled veterans) and Gold Star spouses. Full-time, paid participants are trained in world-class software solutions that support U.S. national security, leading to official SAP certifications, which are valuable in many career paths in the U.S. and worldwide.
Please pass this information onto veterans.

Upon completion of the Dog Tag Inc. (DTI) program, transitioning veterans are business ready, competitive, and employable.
