Protect Social Security.

Don't sacrifice the working class to save the rich: Tell Republicans NO to Raising the Retirement Age. [Democracy for America Advocacy Fund](#) {NAME}, It's time to brace ourselves for another egregious assault on our nation's most vulnerable. As you read this, the Republican Party, from Ron DeSantis to Nikki Haley and Donald Trump, is trying to cut Social Security benefits by raising the retirement age. This is more than an attack on retirees; it's an attack on the very people who built this nation. Factory workers, farmers, teachers, and plumbers -- they've carried the country, often with their hands cracked and spirits tested. One of the most glaring oversights of this proposal is its failure to consider the stark disparities in life expectancy across different demographics. Not all Americans have the privilege of long, healthy lives because both racial and socioeconomic disparities play a significant role. To implement a blanket increase in the retirement age is to effectively diminish the years of benefits for those who might already be at a disadvantage, further widening inequality. [The path to ensuring the longevity of the Social Security system will not come from the sacrifices of the working class. SIGN NOW: Tell Republicans Do NOT raise the Social Security retirement age!]( [Add Your Name]( Americans already have a longer working life. As the wealthiest country in the world, at its most affluent point in history, it is unjustifiable to push for even longer working hours. Instead of asking a factory worker, already grappling with the physical and mental strains of their job, to work for more years, why not ask for a smidgen of sacrifice from Wall Street? It’s clear that we can find solutions that don’t victimize the vulnerable or unduly burden the working class, but it requires a genuine commitment to the welfare of the American worker, something these Republicans just don’t care about. This isn't just a policy debate; this is a battle for the heart of America, for the values we hold dear, and for the legacy we want to leave our children. And the choice to raise the retirement age while there are other viable options? That’s a choice against the American worker.
