Restoration of Honor Virtual Conference

Currently, there are five states that have passed Restoration of Honor (ROH) legislation designed to restore honor to LGBT veterans who were discharged for their sexual orientation or gender identity. We are honored to bring together representatives from Rhode Island, Illinois, Connecticut, and of course New York to talk about their respective ROH legislation. Please watch for engaged conversation focusing on how this legislation came about, what is still needed, and how other states can get involved.
