PFAW Member,
Our country has changed a lot since 1983 – but Social Security hasn’t. That was the last time this vital program was changed, and it’s past due for an update.
Representative John Larson (D-CT) has introduced a bill in the House of Representatives that would strengthen and modernize Social Security, but we need your support to help it pass.
Add your name today to call on Congress to pass the Social Security 2100 Act!>>
The Social Security 2100 Act (H.R. 860) increases benefits for all recipients and protects low-income workers by increasing the minimum monthly benefit, and it will fund Social Security for generations to come.
Since Donald Trump took office, he and Republicans in Congress have been trying to slash Social Security benefits and have allowed millionaires and billionaires to stop paying into Social Security after the first $137,000 of their annual income – no matter how much more they make. The Social Security 2100 Act requires that the wealthy pay their fair share – no more and no less – and protects life-saving benefits for all Americans.
It’s shameful that the Republican Party keeps trying to prevent seniors from retiring with dignity.
The House has over two hundred Congressional co-sponsors on the bill so far, but we need more to get it across the finish line. We need you to add your name as a citizen co-sponsor.
Social Security is important – sign on now!>>
In solidarity,
- Sarah, Digital Campaigns Associate
