210,000 Military Spouses are Unemployed. This is unacceptable.
At 21%, military spouse unemployment is five times the national average. We have a plan to create jobs.
Everyone is invited to support our program with a $1.00 loan
To begin this program, we will borrow $1.00 from a few million Americans.
Our program to create Influencer jobs for military spouses is a partnership between National Veterans Transition Services and Inequity Repair. The program will become self-funding from advertising fees that support our Influencer Marketing. To begin, we will spend a few million dollars to recruit, hire, and train 210,000 military spouses. Americans can help by lending $1.00 to support us in the first phase of this venture. The $1.00 loans will be repaid from our income from advertisers.

Our National Military Spouse Spokesperson
My name is Aria Franklin. I am one of the millions of military spouses who support our active duty, reserve, national guard, and retired military members. Ten years ago, I joined my then-partner and my now-husband into the military community. Initially, I had no expectations as I just moved to a city to be closer to the man that I loved. Honestly, I’m not sure anything or anyone can prepare you for this life, as I am still learning the ropes with each duty station, cultural shift, friendship shake ups, financial uncertainties, and pseudo stability when facing our children
