John,

This is serious. Donald Trump has a plan to destroy Social Security in his second term―and it’s an all hands on deck moment.

SIGN NOW: Add your name to tell Congress to STOP Trump’s raid on Social Security funding before it’s too late!

Trump has vowed to “terminate” Social Security’s dedicated funding if he’s re-elected. That’s an existential crisis for our Social Security system. We need 50,000 signatures TODAY to force Congress to take action to protect Social Security from Donald Trump!

FDR said, upon the enactment of FICA―which Trump calls the ‘payroll tax’―“With those taxes in there, no damn politician can scrap my Social Security program!” Trump is exactly the “damn politician” FDR had in mind.

We’re bringing progressives together for a movement-wide petition delivery to force Congress’s hand. We can’t let Congress sit idly by while Trump defunds our Social Security system.

Tell Congress: STOP Trump’s raid on Social Security funding!

As economic stimulus, Trump’s approach makes no sense. Defunding Social Security delivers the most money to the wealthy and powerful while providing nothing to those who need it most, such as the millions who have lost their COVID unemployment benefits, or still face eviction.

Defunding Social Security leaves out tipped workers, employees who lose shifts because of the economic slowdown, or people who lose their jobs entirely. Cutting Social Security contributions by definition only helps people who still have a regular paycheck.

But defunding Social Security is a huge favor to Trump’s Wall Street pals who filled the Bedminster, NJ golf club where he made his announcement. Wall Street has been trying to destroy Social Security for nearly a century―and Trump is handing them their biggest gift yet.

Congress needs to act! Add your name now to tell Congress not to stand by while Trump defunds our Social Security system!

Thanks,
