| Petition to Congress: We urge you to protect and fully fund Social Security. Please oppose all efforts to weaken or privatize Social Security, or raise the retirement age. |
Trump has claimed over and over again that he won't touch Social Security. But his administration keeps pushing policies that would ultimately destroy the benefits program.
Last week, Trump's head of the Social Security Administration (SSA) was asked if the White House would consider raising the Social Security retirement age. He replied, "Everything's on the table."
This comes just weeks after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent openly admitted that Trump's big budget law includes a "backdoor way for privatizing Social Security."
Raising the retirement age would drastically reduce benefits for three-quarters of Americans and privatization would destroy Social Security. The White House is coming after the social safety net and threatening the very survival of the benefits program that seniors and so many others rely on. Congress must do everything in its power to defend Social Security.
Sign the petition: Don't let Trump destroy Social Security! Say no to privatization and raising the retirement age!
The existential threat to Social Security has grown ever-more serious under Trump 2.0. For months, the Trump administration, DOGE and GOP leaders have taken a sledgehammer to the Social Security Administration. The White House has fired thousands of SSA workers, closed field offices, and upended administrative phone systems — all of which has hurt the people receiving Social Security benefits, especially people living in poverty and people with disabilities.
Trump's big ugly budget law included massive tax cuts for the rich, building on his signature giveaway to the ultra-wealthy and big corporations in 2017. At the same time the White House is protecting millionaires and billionaires, it's making plans to cut benefits for the rest of us by privatizing the social safety net and raising the retirement age.
For decades, Social Security has provided tens of millions of seniors and people with disabilities with economic security and the ability to live with dignity. Our lawmakers can't allow the Trump administration to slash this critical program.
Sign the petition: Save Social Security from Trump!
