Important advocacy action to defend Social Security

-, special interests in Washington are targeting our Social Security.

They are proposing that unelected commissions make critical decisions and fast-track changes about our hard-earned money – and some of our lawmakers are actually considering moving forward with the commissions. A commission on Social Security means plans would be made in closed-door meetings, without proper time or space for input from everyday Americans.

Our representatives must protect Social Security and reject Washington special interests who want to create unelected or fast-track Social Security commissions.

Email your representatives and urge them to oppose any proposal for outside groups to make decisions on Social Security.

We work hard and pay into Social Security our whole lives. So we expect the lawmakers we elect to do their job and not break their promise to the voters who elected them.

That’s why AARP advocates are demanding transparency and accountability – not closed-door decision-making by a small, hand-picked commission of unelected officials and Washington special interests.

Our position is clear: NO secret commissions on Social Security. NO closed-door debates. NO backroom deals. Our leaders must make sure any proposals or changes are made through the proper channels with input from the American people.

Remind our lawmakers to listen to the people who elected them – not special interests in Washington – and oppose backroom deals on Social Security. Send your message TODAY.

Thank you,
