    Don’t let Musk and Trump destroy Social Security!

    Petition to Congress:
    We urge you to oppose the Department of Government Efficiency and cuts to Social Security.

    Musk and Trump aren’t slowing down their attacks on our Social Security system.

    This Trump admin announced 7,000 more job cuts at Social Security just a few days ago, after weeks of firings and Musk’s dangerous disinformation about the benefits program.1 Musk recently said that anyone complaining about a missed Social Security check is a “fraudster.”2

    The head of Social Security under Pres. Biden amplified his warnings that benefit checks could be delayed by the reckless actions of Trump and Musk.3 Congress must stand up and save the benefits checks that tens of millions of Americans rely on.

    Trump’s government has gone after SSA with a complete disregard for the income that seniors and people with disabilities need to live. Destroying the social safety net that has kept millions out of poverty is the priority, no matter what happens to the American people.

    We need to fight for Social Security right now, before Musk and DOGE delay and cut benefits for millions of seniors.
