15-Minute Activist: Defend Social Security

January 2013
By Clarion Staff

As Clarion goes to press, news reports abound that President Obama is discussing an agreement with Republicans that would reduce future Social Security cost-of-living adjustments and make beneficiaries poorer over time.

This is not what we voted for in November, 2012. Please call your Congressmembers now at 888-659-9401 and tell them to oppose benefit cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Encourage them to end the Bush tax cuts for the richest 2%. And don’t forget to sign the petition to the NYS Delegation.

Congress needs to hear this message today. Senators and Representatives are back in Washington, DC, ready to make high-stakes decisions on these issues.

On March 15, 2025 a massive crowd of New Yorkers from across the labor movement and allies gathered at Foley Square for a march to demand the current administration to stop the federal cuts as right-wing politicians in Washington are moving forward with devastating proposals to cut two trillion dollars from Medicaid, Medicare, housing and food assistance and other vital programs to fund a massive tax giveaway to the wealthy and corporations.
