Hi,
Elon Musk’s DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) team is firing
employees at the Social Security Administration (SSA), closing local
Social Security offices, and posing a threat to the benefits that millions
of people rely on to survive.^1
The American Prospect reports that the Trump administration is seeking a
fifty percent reduction in the SSA workforce^2 — a devastating blow to the
Social Security program and all beneficiaries. Congress must take a stand
and protect people receiving Social Security from the reckless actions of
the richest man in the world.

Trump has repeatedly said that he wouldn’t “touch” Social Security.^3 Yet,
DOGE is discarding the workers and offices that serve beneficiaries en
masse.
DOGE is executing its playbook at SSA just like it did at USAID, the CFPB,
EPA, FAA, and other agencies: spread propaganda, fire thousands of
workers, and hobble government services.
We need to fight for Social Security right now, before Musk and DOGE delay
and cut benefits for millions of seniors.
