No backroom deals on Social Security

This is outrageous, -: Special interests in Washington are once again pushing Congress to make changes to Social Security without input from everyday Americans.

We can’t let Congress go along with their plan for creating unelected commissions or fast-tracking changes to YOUR Social Security. This would mean closed-door decisions about the money we’ve earned over a lifetime of hard work. We can't let them win. Our elected officials must oppose any proposal for secret commissions, closed-door debates, and backroom deals. This is too important to mess around with.

We’ve defeated similar measures before — and we can do it again.

Contact your representatives RIGHT NOW and tell them: NO backroom deals on Social Security!

Act NOW!

We Are AARP: Mike Roeger

When the one vehicle Mike Roeger shared with his wife and son broke down, the family decided to give car-free life a go in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Buses came infrequently, so Mike often biked or walked 1.5 miles to and from his job.

Mike’s journey wasn’t always easy. See how we advocate for street safety — with Mike and all Americans 50-plus in mind.
