AARP New York fighting to protect Social Security and other benefits on 90th anniversary of federal safety net program | amNewYork
Briefly

AARP New York celebrates the 90th anniversary of Social Security with a campaign to educate Americans, advocate for benefits, and recruit volunteers. Social Security, essential for 3.7 million New Yorkers, is recognized as one of the most successful programs aiding Americans in retirement financial security. The campaign, part of a broader national initiative, comes amid concerns over potential funding cuts, prompting AARP's collaboration with Congress to safeguard this crucial program. AARP highlights the program's role in preventing poverty and ensuring dignity for retirees after years of work.
"Ninety years ago, our country made a promise to provide hardworking Americans with a foundation for financial security in retirement, Social Security is one of the most successful and popular initiatives in history."
"It's helped generations of Americans stay out of poverty and live with dignity after a lifetime of hard work. The AARP has been working with members of Congress on both sides of the political aisle to save Social Security funds."
