Nearly nine decades ago, amid the turmoil and hardship of the Great Depression, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act – ensuring that, after a lifetime of hard work, seniors could enjoy the dignity of a secure retirement.
For generations, Social Security has been a pillar of financial stability: bringing peace of mind to those in retirement, living with a disability or grieving a loved one. Yet, Republicans are continuing their extreme efforts to unwind this transformative legislative achievement.
Today, tens of millions of Americans rely on their hard-earned Social Security checks to get by each month. Rather than safeguarding and strengthening these essential benefits, extreme MAGA Republicans are seeking to destroy Social Security as we know it.
While Republicans prioritize their own power, Democrats are putting #PeopleOverPolitics.
Tomorrow, @HouseDemocrats will join with seniors across the country for a nationwide Day of Action – reaffirming our commitment to defending Social Security against right-wing attacks.

We will never relent in safeguarding Social Security and strengthening the economic security of every family: lowering costs, creating jobs and building safer communities. Read my full statement on the 87th Anniversary of Social Security here: speaker.gov/newsroom/81422
