Preserve, Improve, and Expand Social Security Rally

Frank H. Ogawa Plaza Oakland, CA, United States

Social Security is alive and well now, but just like Medicaid and Medicare, Social Security is under attack. We must defend it. Join us on Social Security's 82 birthday to celebrate it, and re-dedicate ourselves to defend and improve Social Security and all these vital programs.

Rally and Two-Block March to Federal Building Confirmed Speakers to date: Alex Lawson: Executive Director, Social Security Works Norman Solomon: Author, Columnist, Activist Over its 82 years, Social Security has provided income and dignity for hundreds of millions of retirees and people with disabilities, their spouses and children, and for deceased workers' spouses and children.

Not a cent comes from the government. In fact, our […]

RSVP required Acclaimed Civil Rights Attorney John L. Burris is the featured subject of a moderated discussion to illuminate the weight of injustice in this current climate of civil and racial unrest.
