An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Don't privatize Social Security

21 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

Social Security is a vital program that millions of Americans rely on for their retirement income and disability benefits. Any attempt to undermine or dismantle this system would have devastating consequences for the most vulnerable members of our society. We must defend and strengthen Social Security, not weaken or privatize it as some are proposing. The statements made by influential figures like Elon Musk and Senator Mike Lee represent a direct attack on the financial security of seniors and people with disabilities. Their plans to redirect Social Security funds to Wall Street and private accounts would put hard-earned benefits at risk and expose them to the volatility of the markets. This is unacceptable. Social Security is a promise made to the American people, a covenant that must be honored. We cannot allow political ideologies or the greed of the wealthy few to jeopardize this vital safety net. Instead, we should explore ways to expand and fortify Social Security, ensuring its long-term solvency and adequacy for future generations. I urge you to stand firm against any efforts to privatize, cut, or otherwise undermine Social Security. This program is a cornerstone of our social fabric, and its preservation should be a top priority. We must reject proposals that put the financial well-being of our most vulnerable citizens at risk for the benefit of corporate interests.
