John, today is the 86th birthday of Social Security.
On August 14, 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Social Security into law. And, for 86 years, Social Security has delivered each monthly payment in full and on time.
But even as Social Security is the most successful social insurance program in our country’s history, serving 65 million Americans each year, 5 million seniors still live in poverty.
Congress has not acted to increase Social Security’s benefits in 50 years. And unless they act soon, Social Security will have to face serious cuts by 2034.
This month, as we celebrate 86 years of Social Security, call on Congress to strengthen and expand Social Security and ensure millionaires and billionaires start paying their fair share. John, add your name to our petition and tell Congress to strengthen and expand Social Security.

In solidarity,
