VA influenced by right wingers in new Email

Received this today, Saturday

Title was in Bold (not my bold):

An Opportunity for Faith Communities to Connect With VA and Serve North Carolina Veterans and Families


Starts off okay as it mentions not only faith-based groups but community ones:
The Department of Veterans Affairs Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships (VA Center for Faith) works to strengthen the connections between VA, community organizations, and trusted local leaders. Their mission is simple: help faith-based and community groups better understand VA resources so they can support Veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors in accessing the benefits they have earned.


Then it forgets about the community groups:
You can learn more about the VA Center for Faith here: VA Center for Faith
The Winston-Salem VA Regional Office is inviting North Carolina faith-based organizations to join us in this important work. Your organization can play a vital role in helping Veterans navigate benefits such as VA disability compensation, pension, education, home loan guaranty, and survivor benefits. By working together, we can ensure that no Veteran or survivor misses out on the support they deserve.

If your organization would like to connect with us or explore opportunities to engage, please use the link below to share your information:
Engage with VA

Thank you for your commitment to serving our Veteran community. We look forward to working with you to build stronger connections across North Carolina.


I know why the other community groups are not included.

That is basically the whole thing (all the words). After that is a short section for vets in crisis and links to the VA on Facebook, X, Youtube and Instagram but interestingly, not BlueSky.
