Fighting to Protect Social Security

ESPAÑOL | Social Security is celebrating its 90^th Anniversary—and we want to commemorate this milestone with YOU! For nine decades, Social Security has been a cornerstone of financial security for millions of Americans, and we believe it must remain that way for generations to come. That’s why we need your help!  We’re gathering the names of advocates, like you, to show just how much we care about Social Security.

A LEGACY OF SECURITY

Since 1935, Social Security has helped older Americans live and retire with dignity, supported people with disabilities, and provided vital income to families after the loss of a loved one. It’s a promise earned through a lifetime of hard work—and it has stood the test of time, weathering economic downturns, political shifts, and demographic change. In its 90 years of existence, a payment has never been missed.

Today, more than 67 million Americans receive Social Security, including 6.3 million Californians—nearly one in six residents of the state. These benefits contribute an estimated $128.7 billion annually to California’s economy.

As we approach this milestone anniversary, one thing is clear: we must continue to protect and strengthen Social Security.
