American Veterans Committee

The American Veterans Committee (AVC) was an organization of American veterans that formed during World War II and disbanded in 2003. While many other veterans' groups represented veterans' interests during this period, AVC distinguished itself as an alternative veterans' organization with the motto "Citizens first, veterans second." Based in Washington, DC, with chapters across the country, the group advocated for peace and social justice for all Americans while also championing the needs of returning veterans. AVC survived significant organizational turbulence to become an influential advocacy organization -- the American veteran's voice for civil rights and equal rights.
