Name: Freddie
Social Justice Group: Veterans/Life After War
Date of Fieldwork: February 26, 2018
Name of Organization:
Person (people) with whom I met and their job titles: Max Hauptman
Type of Fieldwork: Interview
What I did:
We interviewed Max about his experience in the military. We also asked him to come to our teach-in to talk to the kids.
What I learned:
We learned that health care and education are the two main benefits that veterans want the most. We also learned that it is difficult for many veterans to access these.
What I learned about Social Justice “work” and/or Civil and Human rights “work” from this fieldwork:
We learned that there isn’t a lot of justice for veterans trying to access their benefits. It can take a very long time.
