ACTION: Protect Our Checks Rallies planned nationwide in August to protect Social Security
Social Security turns 90 on August 14th.https://protectourchecks.com/toolkits/
FIGHT for it or LOSE it, ya'll. Can't organize a rally? OK. Spread the word on social media; the toolkits link is above. . Or go to a rally if one is near you.
CALL YOUR REPS - YES, the damn Republicans, too, to tell them you will NOT accept ANY cuts to social security: reduced checks, raised retirement age, late checks, checks that don't arrive because Social Security personnel were fired, and DAMN SURE not privatization of Social Security.
Social Security IS the most effective anti-poverty program in America. We can't let them destroy it! It's OURS—every one of us.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
