Save Social Security!

Donald Trump is considering several proposals to cut Social Security and Medicare, including a payroll tax cut and a plan to make Americans accept cuts to future Social Security payments in exchange for economic stimulus now. We urge you to oppose these and any other proposals to cut Social Security and Medicare. Instead, pass legislation to expand Social Security and Medicare, which are more essential than ever during this crisis.

Why is this important?

Donald Trump is considering several proposals that would wreck Social Security and Medicare -- and we need your help to stop him.

Trump's advisors are considering a plan to allow people to get more economic stimulus cash, but you would have to accept cuts to your future Social Security benefits. It's a kind of payday loan that forces you to take money you need in your old age and use it to survive right now.

Trump himself is also pushing a plan to slash payroll taxes as part of the economic stimulus. But payroll taxes are one of the main sources of revenue for Social Security and Medicare, and cutting them would cause a crisis.

We need to make sure Congress rejects these horrifically destructive plans. Instead, now is a good time to expand Social Security and Medicare. Will you help?
