From www.strengthensocialsecurity.org/social-security-keep-it-working, I have learned the following:

On February 19, the U.S. House of Representatives, led by a strident Republican majority, voted 235-189 to pass a budget (H.R. 1) that proposes deep cuts to the Social Security Administration (SSA). The SSA ensures that seniors, disabled Americans and survivors of beneficiaries receive their hard-earned benefits.

The House-passed budget cuts would furlough SSA workers for as much as 1 month out of the next 7 months – and result in closed offices, unanswered phone calls, and significant delays in processing new claims.

The Senate must also pass a budget by March 4 and reconcile it with the House, or else the government could shut down. We need to be sure that the Senate does not cut Social Security. Join us in this critical effort!

There are two rallies in Massachusetts.
