    Act Now: Protect Social Security. Oppose the Trump Administration's Cruel Policy.

    The last time this policy was implemented, 21,176 people died.

    In the 1980s, the Reagan administration implemented a policy resulting in 200,000 Americans losing their earned Social Security disability benefits with thousands losing their lives.At the time, thanks to a massive public outcry, they were forced to reverse this attack on Social Security.

    But now, without regard for history or human life, the Trump administration has proposed a similar rule that’s designed to rip benefits away from hundreds of thousands of Americans with disabilities.

    While Social Security is best known as a retirement program, disability and survivors benefits are equally essential. That’s why we’re rallying our allies across the country to fight back against this proposed rule change and save the lives of thousands of Americans.

    Tell the Social Security Administration and stop the Trump administration’s cruel policy before it’s implemented.
