John,

At a time when millions of older Americans are counting on Social Security just to make ends meet, fiscal hawks like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell remain dead set on cutting earned benefits to reduce budget deficits and pay for unrelated programs.

Yet there is historic legislation now pending in Congress called the "Social Security 2100: A Sacred Trust Act" (H.R. 5723) that would put more money back into the wallets of millions of older Americans by giving all beneficiaries an across-the-board increase, implementing a fair Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) and requiring millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share into Social Security, which would help strengthen this program for years to come.

To get this important Social Security bill onto the House and Senate floors for a vote, we need to launch an aggressive campaign on Capitol Hill. And I need your immediate help!

Every day, the National Committee is meeting virtually and in-person with members of Congress and their staff, in the media and in meeting rooms acting in your best interests through advocacy, education and grassroots efforts. But all that takes a lot of personnel, a lot of footwork, a lot of time researching — and communicating — the truth. It also takes a lot of money. And just as you depend on your benefits, we depend on donations from the people we represent so that we can keep on fighting for you.

John, our strength lies in the participation of our more than one million members and supporters — and frankly, each and every dollar counts. Please make one urgent donation today to help us convince lawmakers to pass vital legislation now pending in Congress that would improve the financial security of millions of older Americans and safeguard the retirement of future beneficiaries.

Sincerely,

Max Richtman
President & CEO
