Target: U.S. Congress, Social Security Administration
Goal: We call on Congress and the Social Security Administration to safeguard Social Security for all Americans by rejecting policies that accelerate its insolvency and disproportionately benefit the wealthy.
On the 90th anniversary of Social Security, the administration has touted new tax deductions for seniors and promised to root out fraud. However, independent experts warn that recent tax and spending policies could actually hasten the depletion of Social Security's trust funds, risking the future of the program for millions of Americans. The temporary $6,000 tax deduction for those over 65 may sound generous, but it largely benefits upper-middle class seniors, leaving lower-income retirees behind.
Further, proposed workforce reductions and a rush to digitize services threaten to undermine the quality and accessibility of Social Security for those who need it most. The focus should be on strengthening and expanding Social Security, not on policies that put its solvency in jeopardy or make it harder for vulnerable populations to access their earned benefits.
We demand real solutions to ensure Social Security remains strong and accessible for current and future generations. Join us in calling on policymakers to protect and expand Social Security, not undermine it with shortsighted tax breaks and administrative cuts.
