For nearly a century, Social Security has been the foundation of retirement security for generations of Americans, paying benefits in full and on time every single month. Now our earned retirement benefits are under attack. Thousands of workers who make Social Security function have been fired, and offices across the country have been closed.

Now, Trump’s billionaire Treasury Secretary has revealed a “back door” plan to privatize Social Security. And it is no coincidence that Trump ordered Abbott to add 5 more GOP House seats by drawing gerrymandered maps before the 2026 elections. He knows the American people will not allow Social Security to be privatized in a fair election and that they don’t support his cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and food assistance.

Join us Fri Aug 15 at 3:00 pm in front of the Capitol at 11th & Congress. We’ll have signs and party treats. You bring your resolve to defend Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, food assistance ... and fair elections. This fight is far from over.

Celebrate and Defend Social Security Rally. Taking place on Friday, August 15, from 3pm to 4pm at 11th st and North Congress Avenue in Austin, TX
