For six months, Senator Tommy Tuberville has blocked the Senate confirmation of highly-decorated and qualified military leaders. More than 300 service members, who have all been previously unanimously confirmed, are currently being held hostage by the political whims of a first-term Senator. We are fed up with Tuberville playing politics with the lives of military service members and their families. Take action with us to urge Senator Tuberville to end his promotion protest!

Before the Senate recessed for the summer Secure Families Initiative delivered a petition to Tuberville and Senate Leaders.
