A rally at the Margaret Cochran Corbin VA Campus in Manhattan, involving Assembly Member Harvey Epstein, Sen. Schumer, Rep. Nadler, and others, highlighted strong opposition to the Trump administration's plan to cut 80,000 Department of Veterans Affairs jobs. Participants, including legislators, VA staff, and union leaders, criticized the government's assurances about maintaining veterans' benefits amid the job cuts. The proposed layoffs threaten a significant portion of the workforce, mainly comprised of veterans, which would severely impact healthcare and benefits for the 138,000 veterans residing in New York City.
Our nation told our veterans we would take care of them if they put their lives and health on the line to protect our freedoms, and the Trump administration is breaking that promise.
By slashing 80,000 jobs at the VA, Donald Trump is compromising the health and safety of our veterans and dishonoring their service and sacrifice to our nation.
