I am furious.

While hard-working Americans are facing the worst economic crisis in our lifetimes, the Trump Administration is putting Social Security on the chopping block. It's unconscionable.

This program — a lifeline for retirees, people with disabilities, and even children who have lost a parent — is under immediate threat.

It is callous. It is cruel. And I need your help right away to stop this reckless effort to defund what has been a beacon of hope for so many.

If the Trump administration has its way, the payroll tax deferral will damage the Social Security trust fund for millions of Americans who are retiring this year. And worse, if they eliminate the payroll tax entirely — as Trump's promised to do — Social Security could run out of money within five years!

Your donation <[link removed]> today means CAP can continue to lead the charge in stopping this assault on a vital safety net.

Last week, CAP was among the first to sound the alarm that the Trump Administration's payroll tax cut is a wolf in sheep's clothing that will gut social security. Our alert was picked up around the country, as CAP continues to shine a light on these dirty tactics, driving attention and conversations around kitchen tables throughout the country.

Please give now <[link removed]> to help continue revealing these underhanded tactics to the American people who want to protect Social Security. This type of deception must not be tolerated.

Social Security has been protecting our seniors, spouses, children and survivors of deceased workers — nearly 1 in 6 Americans last year — for 85 years. Now more than ever, protecting Social Security is vital.

The Administration has already said they want to make the payroll tax 'deferral' permanent through the end of the year — and then end it entirely. We must take action NOW to protect Social Security. Your gift will make a difference. Donate today to help stop Trump's attack on social security. <[link removed]>

Please don’t wait — time is running out for us to put an end to this once and for all.

For progress and for our country,

Neera Tanden
CEO
