Don't let Elon Musk destroy Social Security
Petition to Congress:
We urge you to oppose the Department of Government Efficiency and cuts to Social Security.
Elon Musk’s DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) team is firing employees at the Social Security Administration (SSA), closing local Social Security offices, and posing a threat to the benefits that millions of people rely on to survive.1
The American Prospect reports that the Trump administration is seeking a fifty percent reduction in the SSA workforce2 — a devastating blow to the Social Security program and all beneficiaries. Congress must take a stand and protect people receiving Social Security from the reckless actions of the richest man in the world.
Sign the petition: Protect Social Security from Elon Musk!
Trump has repeatedly said that he wouldn’t “touch” Social Security.3 Yet, DOGE is discarding the workers and offices that serve beneficiaries en masse.
DOGE is executing its playbook at SSA just like it did at USAID, the CFPB, EPA, FAA, and other agencies: spread propaganda, fire thousands of workers, and hobble government services.
We need to fight for Social Security right now, before Musk and DOGE delay and cut benefits for millions of seniors.
