Who we are?

The Chamberlain Network strengthens civic spaces by mobilizing veterans to promote respectful civic engagement, counter political violence, and foster trust across communities. Our programs create space for veterans and military families to lead local conversations, build bridges across divides, and help ensure that civic institutions remain safe, accessible, and resilient for all.

What do we do?

The Chamberlain Network organizes veterans and military family members to protect democratic institutions, strengthen civic trust, and counter political violence. We mobilize veterans as trusted messengers in their communities, conduct public education campaigns, and train veterans to engage with public officials, election administrators, and civil society leaders to safeguard democracy.

Why fund our work?

As our democracy faces escalating threats from political violence and divisive rhetoric, it is imperative for veterans, elected officials, and Americans to unite by signing a pledge against such actions. By standing together and sharing this commitment, we send a powerful message that violence has no place in our democratic society. Veterans, with their firsthand experience of conflict's destructive nature, can provide a unique perspective on the importance of upholding peace and unity. Elected officials bear a special responsibility to lead by example and demonstrate a dedication to preserving our democratic values through peaceful means. And for Americans, their collective voice and actions play a crucial role in shaping the future of our nation.

Together, by taking a stand against political violence, we can safeguard the principles upon which our democracy was built and ensure a more peaceful and inclusive society for generations to come.participation and inter-partisan trust.

How do we measure success?

We define success by the number of veterans trained, the number of local events and meetings with public officials facilitated, audience reach of our media campaigns, and growth in our partner network. We track these metrics through signups, partner reporting, social media analytics, and post-training evaluations.

Where do we work?

We are a National network of partners from across the country who are working in all states.
