Help Protect Social Security

Join our movement to strengthen Social Security.

Americans earn their Social Security through a lifetime of hard work. And Social Security is guaranteed for life, so a retiree will never outlive this vital income. But the program faces a long-term financial shortfall. If Congress doesn’t take action in the next 10 years to protect and save Social Security, benefits could be cut by about 20 percent.
