An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Protect Social Security!

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

The Trump administration's recent actions at the Social Security Administration (SSA) are deeply concerning. Closing local SSA offices and reducing staff will make it harder for Americans to access the Social Security benefits they have earned through a lifetime of work and paying into the system. These misguided cuts disproportionately harm the most vulnerable - the elderly, severely disabled, and children who have lost parents. Many beneficiaries, especially in rural areas, rely on in-person services as they may lack internet access or computer literacy. Disability claims processing is already plagued by huge backlogs that will only worsen with fewer staff. Americans have paid for not just their Social Security benefits, but also the customer service to properly administer this vital social program. I urge you to protect Social Security from further workforce reductions and office closures that will erode its ability to serve millions of beneficiaries who desperately need this income. Social Security must be preserved and strengthened, not decimated through short-sighted cuts.
