Social Security is under attack, and it is time for us to defend it before it’s too late.

Social Security is a vital safety net that provides monthly support to retirees and people with disabilities. These are benefits the American people have earned—paid for through a lifetime of work and payroll taxes. But Trump’s repeated claims that Social Security is safe have proven false. By cutting the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) workforce by up to 50% and shutting down hundreds of offices, Elon Musk’s DOGE is putting benefits for 72.5 million people at risk.

These cuts disproportionately harm those who rely on in-person assistance—especially older adults, disabled individuals, and those without reliable internet access. Former SSA Commissioner Martin O’Malley has warned that these workforce reductions could lead to a total system collapse, disrupting payments within just a few months.

Congress must act now to stop these cuts. Call your representative and demand they refuse to pass any budget or spending bill that doesn’t restore SSA to full working capacity. It’s especially important for Republican reps to hear from us.

Hi, my name is [NAME], and I’m a constituent from [CITY AND ADDRESS].

I’m calling to demand [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] protect the Social Security Administration from DOGE’s workforce cuts and office closures, which threaten benefits for over 72 million Americans. Social Security isn’t a handout—it’s a benefit we’ve paid into and earned. Please refuse to support any budget or spending bill that doesn’t fully restore SSA operations and re-open closed offices.
