Dear friend,

Don’t be mistaken: I might be a little older than the Social Security system, but I’ve also spent my entire career fighting to keep programs and others just like it working for the American people.

And I won’t sit by as the richest man on the planet guts Social Security and the bedrock programs so many New Yorkers have been able to depend on.

Will you stand with Yvette and the CBC as they oppose these dangerous cuts? She has a critical end-of-quarter deadline on Monday, and we still need to raise over $5,000 from small-dollar donors!

Americans give a lifetime of service to our nation through their work, and they deserve to live their lives after retirement with dignity and independence instead of poverty and despair. But if Yvette’s Republican colleagues had it their way, Social Security wouldn’t exist at all.

Our Social Security system is in turmoil— its website keeps crashing, its staff is leaving, and the people who rely on Social Security the most can’t even contact the people making them suffer.

And to make matters worse, Republican members of Congress are cowering behind Elon Musk and Donald Trump instead of owning up and answering to their constituents about the destruction of Social Security. But not Yvette, friend.

My daughter will make them own their reckless mistakes— and we must stand with leaders like her if we want Social Security to survive. If you’re ready to fight back, will you rush a donation before our end-of-quarter deadline on Monday to help Yvette save Social Security?

Yvette won’t let Republicans break Social Security like they break everything else.
