Jack, in a brazen move that undermines the financial security of future generations, Republicans have proposed cutting Social Security benefits and raising the retirement age--specifically targeting the younger generation, Gen Z.

Sign the petition: No cuts to Social Security or raises on retirement age!

SIGN THE PETITION
This proposal is not only deeply unpopular but also fundamentally absurd. A recent poll revealed that only 8 percent of voters over the age of 45 believe the retirement age should be raised above 67.

The GOP's proposal to cut Social Security and increase the retirement age blatantly disregards the welfare of the American people. It's not just about protecting current beneficiaries; it's about safeguarding the program's future for generations to come. Social Security is a promise we've made to each other - a guarantee that after a lifetime of hard work, we won't be left in financial instability during our golden years. We must hold our leaders accountable to that promise.

P.S. Below is an email we sent out earlier demanding no cuts to Social Security:

Jack, House Republicans cut a deal with President Biden on the debt limit—and what are they most upset about? They were not able to cut Social Security.

On Fox News shortly after the deal was cut, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy complained that Biden had "walled off" potential cuts to Social Security or Medicare during their negotiations.

This is precisely where Republicans are planning to take things next. McCarthy has already announced that he will set up a commission to look at potential cuts to Social Security.

No commission to look at making the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes. No commission to question our bloated military budget. As soon as the debt limit deal expires in January 2025, House Republicans will be ready to demand drastic cuts to Social Security and Medicare.

Social Security is a crucial lifeline for millions of Americans who rely on it for their financial well-being in retirement. Any changes to the program must prioritize preserving and strengthening the program for current and future generations.
