Our Social Security system is under attack.
Donald Trump wants to use every baby born this year to legitimize "Freedom 250"—his partisan, corrupt, and reviled July 4 celebration—by printing the logo of a semi-private company on the Social Security cards that they will have to carry around for the rest of their lives.
The first Social Security card was issued 90 years ago. In all that time the design has never been politicized―UNTIL NOW.
This is abuse of Social Security, a nonpartisan institution. Turning Social Security cards into political propaganda reveals yet again Trump's contempt for the American people—just like issuing passports with his face and signature, putting his name on the Kennedy Center, and destroying the East Wing of the White House.
And even more terrifying, it may signal the first step toward privatizing Social Security.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said last month that Republicans have a plan for Social Security and Medicare, which he will only reveal after the midterms. This change to the cards could be a clue.
We have to take immediate action to stop this. We must not let greedy private Wall Street corporations get their hands on our hard-earned Social Security benefits!
Our organization, Social Security Works, has been fighting for years to defend and expand Social Security. Can we count on you to stand with us in this fight?
We're fighting to stop Donald Trump, Mike Johnson, and Wall Street corporations from stealing our Social Security benefits. Please chip in even just $1 to show your support.
What Trump and his cronies are doing to America's Social Security system is corrupt and inappropriate. We've got to defend it.
