| Petition to Congress: We urge you to protect and fully fund Social Security. |
After Trump's disastrous budget bill passed, the Social Security Administration (SSA) celebrated the law in a statement and sent emails to beneficiaries riddled with lies. The reality is that Trump's bill actually threatens the long-term survival of Social Security by slashing taxes for the wealthy.
Jeff Nesbit, a top SSA official under Republican and Democratic presidents raised the alarm. "The agency has never issued such a blatant political statement. The fact that Trump and his minion running SSA has done this is unconscionable," he said. Rep. Frank Pallone added, "It's disturbing to see Trump hijack a public institution to push blatant misinformation."
Congress must take urgent action to protect Social Security and stop Trump's damage at SSA.
Sign the petition: Don't let Trump destroy Social Security!
Through closing field offices, firing staff, and ruining systems that had been in place for years at SSA, DOGE has made it nearly impossible for beneficiaries to get help and threatened the very existence of Social Security. Trump's big budget bill speeds up the timeline for when Social Security could become insolvent. All to fund tax breaks for the rich.
Instead of protecting and preserving Social Security, the Trump administration and its loyalists in Congress have intentionally thrown America's most important social program into chaos — and made it into yet another pro-Trump, politicized agency. Our elected officials must protect Social Security immediately.
Sign the petition: Save Social Security from Trump. Lawmakers must fully fund and protect SSA!
