John,

At a time when congressional Republicans have proposals to cut, privatize, and even “sunset” Social Security, we’re fighting back.[1] And, the best defense is a good offense.

That’s why our champion in the Senate, Bernie Sanders, has introduced a new bill that would expand Social Security benefits for millions of Americans while extending the Social Security trust fund by at least 75 years so it can pay full benefits to everyone.

Sen. Sanders’ new bill would increase Social Security’s modest annual benefits by $2,400, increase Cost of Living Adjustments to more accurately measure the spending patterns of seniors, increase the Special Minimum Benefit to help low-income workers stay out of poverty, and more.

Senator Sanders’ bill is completely paid for by lifting the payroll tax cap on anyone earning over $250,000―currently people don’t have to pay the Social Security tax on wages above $160,200. That means that millionaires and billionaires will finally start paying their fair share into Social Security!

Instead of cuts and privatization, we’re demanding Congress increase Social Security’s modest benefits and extend the Trust Fund for current and future generations. Click here to add your name as a grassroots co-sponsor of Bernie Sanders’ Social Security Expansion Act today!

Together, we’re demanding the wealthy pay more of their fair share. When they do, we can protect and expand Social Security for decades to come.

Thank you,
