Support Us

The Wall Street funded anti-Social Security and Medicare lobby has invested more than $1 billion dollars in a campaign to convince Members of Congress they must cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid to reduce the deficit. While America’s seniors certainly don’t have a billion dollars to give, your $12 annual membership helps the National Committee leverage your power and amplify your voice in defense of America’s economic and retirement safety net.

Sign a Petition

The National Committee has delivered millions of petitions to Members of Congress demonstrating the nation’s broad support – across all ages and parties – for Social Security and Medicare. Our members and supporters have voiced opposition to benefit cuts that would come from raising the retirement age, means testing and the Chained CPI and support for Boosting Social Security benefits and legislation which would improve coverage. Sign a National Committee petition and tell Congress how you feel about proposals impacting seniors.

Join the Boost Social Security Now Movement

Large majorities of Americans, both Republicans and Democrats, agree on ways to strengthen Social Security — without cutting benefits. Fully 74% of Republicans and 88% of Democrats agree that “it is critical to preserve Social Security even if it means increasing Social Security taxes paid by working Americans. The National Committee’s Boost Social Security Now campaign informs and mobilizes our membership, grassroots networks and on-line communities to convince Congress that now is the time to boost benefits, not cut them. Join the growing Boost Social Security movement!
