Please consider signing this petition in support of one of my clients, Lavender Gunderson, a survivor of military recruiting abuse.

This petition has three main prongs:

1. Expressing support for Lavender's discharge upgrade case with the Board of Corrections of Naval Records (BCNR) so that she will be eligible for VA care in the future,

2. Demanding Congress take further action to stop recruiter abuse,

3. Demanding the Executive branch (including POTUS Joe Biden, the Secretary of Defense, and the branch secretaries) take action to implement further regulations to prevent recruiter abuse.

And after you sign, please share the petition.

P.S. This petition will be presented to BCNR as part of Lavender's discharge upgrade application packet, but also will be shared with government officials this fall.

#JROTC and many school districts that work with them are breaking the law, forcing students of color to enroll in #MilitaryRecruiting training to be able to graduate.

And... predictably it is #BIPOC students who are the most likely victims of this illegal forced indoctrination.
