AFA in Action

A Message from the President

June 30, 2025

Friends,

Legislative action is often slow but, sometimes, legislative action can happen without warning. We, the people of the USA, have a role in this process because WE elect the government and can influence our representatives in Congress to take the right legislative actions. These days, keeping up with the changes in the numerous budget bills is challenging. But when it comes to promoting dominant Air and Space Forces as the bedrock of our national defense, no organization is better informed and equipped than AFA. Our Air Force and Space Force need you to make your voice heard in the halls and offices of Congress promoting the dominant Air Force and Space Force our nation needs.
 
Our advocacy work encompasses informing AFA members and the public of news and critical issues facing the Air Force and Space Force; sharing insights and analysis through reports, podcasts, and research studies; and direct contact with lawmakers and their legislative staffs. But you, too, can make a difference. This short video can help you, both as an individual or as a chapter/regional leader, to leverage all AFA has to offer to become the most effective advocate you can be. Share it with your fellow AFA members and others in your community—and then take action!
 
Everything we do is intended to help you better advocate for air power and space power. I hope you are motivated to join in and take action with your Congressional representatives. 
 
Stay vocal. Stay informed.

Lt. Gen. Burt Field, USAF (Ret.)
President & CEO
