    Don’t let Trump and DOGE destroy Social Security!

    Petition to Congress:
    We urge you to protect and fully fund Social Security.

    Social Security offices are collapsing under historic DOGE cuts and Trump’s mismanagement.

    Seniors are waiting hours, sometimes entire days, just to access basic benefits they've earned through decades of work. DOGE’s layoffs have created a crisis of understaffing and underfunding.1

    Instead of protecting and preserving Social Security, the Trump administration and its loyalists in Congress are trying to make things even worse. We can’t let Republicans destroy one of the most important social programs in America.

    Sign the petition: Don’t let Trump and DOGE destroy Social Security. Protect and fully fund Social Security!

    The damage DOGE has done to Social Security comes as the Social Security Administration (SSA) struggles to keep up with a record surge of retirement claims.2 The lasting damage at the SSA could impact beneficiaries for years to come — unless Congress restores and expands it.

    Millions of retirees, disabled workers, and families rely on Social Security. Congress must take immediate action to undo the damage of Musk, DOGE and Trump before more beneficiaries are stuck in an impossible situation.
