Everyone else sending you an email today is asking for money. We're asking you to put your wallet away.

Today is the last day to vote in CREDO's September donation ballot. Every month, they make a serious investment in progressive groups, and this month, Social Security Works is on the ballot. These funds will help power our work raising senior voices before Election Day.

Can you take a minute to vote for Social Security Works before midnight?

Thank you,

P.S. My email from Friday, with instructions for how voting works, is below.

Put your wallet away, John.

This is the final weekend before voting closes on this month’s CREDO Donation ballot. The current vote totals are extremely tight, and your vote could make a big difference in the amount of money CREDO grants to Social Security Works this year.

Instead of asking you for money today, we’re asking for your vote. If we can win this grant, it will go a long way to helping us cover critical expenses between now and Election Day.

I’m going to be completely transparent: Social Security Works’s fundraising has been way down since Donald Trump left the White House. Trump was bad for America, but he was very good for progressive fundraising. The truth is, during the Biden era, we’re raising less than half of what we were raising every month when Trump was in the White House.

But we won’t go back. And this opportunity will help us fill that budget shortfall―without you opening your wallet.

Every month, our friends at CREDO donate to progressive causes, and they allocate that amount based on an online vote. So we need you to vote for Social Security Works today!

Here’s how it works:

  1. Go to Social Security Works’s voting page at CREDOdonations.com.

  2. Check the box next to SSW:

  3. Enter your email address and click “Vote Now”Image of the "Vote now" button with an arrow drawn on it

    4. That’s it!

CREDO is a progressive phone company that has donated more than $600,000 to Social Security Works over the years through this exact program. When SSW was founded in 2010, when the conventional wisdom, even among Democrats, was that Social Security cuts were inevitable, CREDO was one of the few groups that stood with us and called for expanding Social Security. Together, we stopped cuts during the Obama era and the Trump era―and now, we’ve changed the conversation from “how much should Social Security be cut” to “how much should Social Security be expanded.”
