Hi,

Donald Trump is waging a massive assault on Social Security — and we're mobilizing to stop him.

Trump has directed the Social Security Administration to review and likely cut disability benefits received by 2.6 million people. According to the New York Times, his targets include older adults, impoverished children with disabilities, and adults and children with cancer and bipolar disorder.1

We can stop him, just as Americans stopped Ronald Reagan when he tried the same thing in the 1980s. But we need your help now. Can you speak out against this horrible plan?

Add your name: Stop Trump's attack on Social Security!

Reagan's attack on Social Security disability benefits in the 1980s resulted in 200,000 Americans losing their earned Social Security benefits, and thousands lost their lives.

Thanks to a massive public outcry, Reagan was stopped and Social Security was saved.

Trump's plan is the same thing all over again. He would require millions of Americans receiving Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income to go through an onerous, difficult process of proving once again that they are eligible for benefits — as often as every six months.

This week Trump made it clear he plans massive cuts to Social Security and Medicare.2 His attack on disability benefits is just his first step. He's hoping that Americans will look the other way and let him get away with this initial, brutal attack on Social Security. We have to stop him. Now. Will you help?
