How YOU can protect your Social Security

Together we can pass the Social Security Expansion Act!

FIRST, contact your federal lawmakers and candidates

Why this is important

The Social Security Expansion Act will become an issue when “We, the People” make it one. Members of Congress do not need to rely on Social Security, nor do the huge donors who have their ears.

Social Security is the people’s program …
the only “lobbyists” it has is you and I.

Support the Social Security Expansion Act to secure future benefits.

Congress should work for YOU!

Tell your U.S. Senators and Member of Congress
that they must co-sponsor S.770 to earn your vote

Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 

Or look up your U.S. Senators and U.S. Representative’s direct line

Please share what they said with us!

Support Social Security expansion to protect future benefits.

As a voter, your voice is your superpower!

Tell your U.S. Senate and congressional candidates
that your support depends on them campaigning on this issue

Search for your federal candidates

If you can’t find them, ask us to find them.

Please share what they said with us!

Bring it up wherever candidates appear​

Tell your U.S. Senate and congressional candidates

Please share what they said with us!

SECOND, share the Good News with friends

This is how we build a movement

We can all join together to pass the Social Security Expansion Act, regardless of any other political differences. This is about security for the 99 percent of us.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” 

– Margaret Mead
