April 27th and 28th will be days of action to protect Social Security and Medicare. The themes are "Don't Make Me Work Until I Die" and "Don't Make My Kids Work Until They Die." Here's the video:
There will be events around the country kicked off by Strengthen Social Security. Here is the website to create an event of your own.
There will be a Virtual Rally for those who cannot make an event. To join the VR, take a picture of yourself with a sign and send it here.
Even conservatives know that damaging Social Security and ending Medicare is not the way to fix our deficit issues. They told Republican Paul Ryan, father of the plan to enrich the already rich by destroying the middle class, at a recent constituent event this week. Here's the video on that:
Ryan was trying to convince these folks that the wealthy pay their share of taxes. People know that isn't true. Ryan was touting the value of small business in job creation, but people know that the tax cuts benefit big multinational corporations that send jobs overseas.
If you're ok with foregoing retirement and health care when you need it most so some CEO of a multinational can walk away with billions (trillions) and take his jobs to India, China and Pakistan, then go ahead and vote for Republicans and do nothing on April 27th and 28th, but if you want US jobs and a US middle class that provides for a dignified retirement, then join Strengthen Social Security for its events, virtually if you cannot make a meeting.
