TELL CONGRESS: Elon Musk’s DOGE took a hatchet to Social Security —
leaving many people in a lurch as they try to get benefits. Field offices
have shuttered and thousands of workers were fired. Congress has a duty to
save Social Security. Sign the petition: Restore and protect Social
Security after DOGE damage!

Hi,

DOGE’s work at the Social Security Administration (SSA) led to mass
firings, the closing of field offices across the country, and phony fraud
prevention systems.^1 Every single one of these changes made it harder for
seniors and people with disabilities to get their benefits checks.

The damage DOGE has done to Social Security comes as SSA struggles to keep
up with a record surge of retirement claims.^2 We’re hearing less about
Musk and DOGE these days, but the lasting damage at the SSA could impact
beneficiaries for years to come — unless Congress restores and protects
one of the most important social programs in America.

succeed. Ensure SSA is strong and funded!

ADD YOUR NAME

In Musk and Trump’s coordinated campaign to hobble SSA and hurt the people
who rely on Social Security benefits, DOGE even wrongfully removed people
from Social Security.^3

Congress must protect Social Security from further damage. But this is not
enough. Millions have had their monthly income threatened and the program
that 73 million people rely on is on shaky footing. Our elected leaders
must also strengthen the program, and fund it for generations to come.

Security!
