Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Modern Military Association of America (MMAA) is the nation's only organization exclusively focused on serving the larger LGBTQ+ military community of service members, military spouses, veterans and their families. We are unique from other military and veteran service organizations as well as LGBTQ+ organizations, in that we have expert LGBTQ+ knowledge and competencies alongside unique knowledge, understanding, and networks within DoD, DHA, VA, and military systems and policies as they relate to the military and veteran communities we serve.

Activities or mission (Part I)

In 2023, some of our successes included a) the launch of our incident reporting form for LGBTQ+ or HIV discrimination - the first of its kind - that allows us to track and address concerns that arise within the worldwide U.S. military community, b) a new safe, virtual, and moderated monthly MMAA Strong Communities meeting for adult LGBTQ+ service members, veterans, and their partners that meets on the third Monday of each month at 8 pm ET, and c) relaunching Rainbow Shield cultural competency training with new culturally-specific resources to help groups work effectively with LGBTQ+ and HIV+ military and veteran communities.

  • LGBTQ+ MILITARY AND VETERAN SERVICES: MMAA supports the LGBTQ+ service members, veterans, and their families with specialized resource and advocacy guides, individualized support, MilPride programming, Strong Communities monthly meetings, participation in Pride activities (e.g., DC's Capital Pride march and festival), information sharing at conferences, tabling opportunities, legal referral sources, chapter management tools, and discrimination reporting tools. MMAA also maintained and built new relationships with military and veteran service organizations, Congressional offices, and coalition groups.

    Expenses $147,302 · Grants $33,708

  • LEGAL & GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS: MMAA continued its impact litigation joining other LGBTQ+ advocates to file multiple lawsuits ranging from transgender service members rights to petitioning VA to establish anti-discrimination regulations. MMAA utilized the new LGBTQ+ and HIV discrimination reporting form to track discrimination, provide specialized support for those facing discrimination, and amplify the issues facing military members and veterans to DoD, VA, and Congress. MMAA presented Congress with an updated legislative agenda that included new issues related to DoD's Drag Ban, anti-discrimination riders in appropriations bills, and ensuring culturally competent LGBTQ+ care in VA facilities.

    Expenses $119,841

  • COMMUNICATIONS: In 2023, MMAA amplified stories of LGBTQ+ service members, veterans, and their families through press releases, media interviews, and Modern Military magazine. MMAA added new tools so individuals can more easily recognize LGBTQ+ military hometown heroes, shining star allies, share testimonials about the impact of the Drag Ban, and submit an MMAA Op-Ed. MMAA released a newly updated Freedom to Serve Guide, expanding upon the last update from 2018. MMAA published three Modern Military magazine issues, regular e-newsletter updates, and shared updates with its 50,000+ email subscribers, 100,000+ social media followers, and 25,000+ website visitors.
