Sign the petition: Millions of Social Security recipients are facing drastic cuts

TELL CONGRESS: Elon Musk's DOGE is closing Social Security offices and firing federal employees who serve millions of beneficiaries. Musk is an existential threat to Social Security. Sign the petition: Don't let Musk destroy Social Security!

Harris,

Elon Musk's DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) team is firing employees at the Social Security Administration (SSA), closing local Social Security offices, and posing a threat to the benefits that millions of people rely on to survive.1

The American Prospect reports that the Trump administration is seeking a fifty percent reduction in the SSA workforce2 — a devastating blow to the Social Security program and all beneficiaries. Congress must take a stand and protect people receiving Social Security from the reckless actions of the richest man in the world.

Sign the petition: Protect Social Security from Elon Musk!

Trump has repeatedly said that he wouldn't "touch" Social Security.3 Yet, DOGE is discarding the workers and offices that serve beneficiaries en masse.

DOGE is executing its playbook at SSA just like it did at USAID, the CFPB, EPA, FAA, and other agencies: spread propaganda, fire thousands of workers, and hobble government services.

We need to fight for Social Security right now, before Musk and DOGE delay and cut benefits for millions of seniors.

Sign the petition: Don't let Musk destroy Social Security!

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the team at Demand Progress

That makes your responses on this panel essential in our fight to defeat Republicans.

Harris, did you see this?!

THE RESISTANCE TO DONALD TRUMP IS "TIRED" 
– New York Times

Harris, the New York Times just reported that our resistance to Donald Trump's extremism is "tired."

We know they're dead wrong, Harris.

So now, generous Democrats agreed to step up and 500% MATCH every gift until midnight to PROVE once and for all that Democrats are UNITED against Trump, and have what it takes to DESTROY his MAGA Majority in the House, and FINALLY hold him accountable for his actions. >>

MATCH: 500%
STATUS: ACTIVE
GOAL: DEFEAT MAGA REPUBLICANS

SUGGESTED SUPPORT: $6 >>

Harris, we're stunned!

FIRST:
Elon Musk and MAGA BILLIONAIRES helped Donald Trump claim a TERRIFYING MAGA Trifecta in the House and Senate.

THEN:
Donald Trump announced a $500 MILLION plan to protect MAGA Republicans in the House and destroy our Democrats.

NOW:
Now, The New York Times just reported that Democrats are "TIRED" of fighting back against Trump – so we need your support to prove them wrong.

The midterm elections are shaping up to be the most critical election of our lives.

But, if we can't step up and prove to the WORLD that our Democrats are still in the fight – our chances of defeating Trump's Majority could vanish into thin air.

So, now, our top Democratic donors just agreed to 500%-MATCH every grassroots gift for the next 14 hours to show we're ready to DEFEAT Trump, take back the House, and restore our democracy. Please, Harris – will you rush in a 500%-MATCHED $6 before this match expires at midnight? >>

Harris,

First, we want to say thank you. Supporters like you helped us reach our February fundraising goal, and we couldn't be more appreciative.

On that note, this isn't a fundraising email. We just wanted to give you an update on Democrats' work over the last few weeks:

  1. Democrats across the country have held town halls, attended roundtables, and rallied with federal workers in response to Trump and Elon Musk's shameful layoffs.

  2. Democratic attorneys general won a lawsuit to temporarily block Elon Musk's DOGE from accessing sensitive data from Treasury systems.

  3. Every single Democrat voted against confirming Kash Patel as FBI director.

  4. Senate Democrats introduced budget amendments that would have prevented Americans from being price gouged for prescription drugs and stopped DOGE staffers from abusing Americans' private data. But Senate Republicans blocked every single one.

  5. DNC Chair Ken Martin began traveling the country, meeting with voters in red, blue, and purple states, and knocking on doors for Democrats in special elections.

  6. New York Attorney General Letitia James led a multistate coalition to take legal action against Trump and Musk's efforts to shut down the CFPB.

  7. Florida Democratic lawmakers filed legislation to overturn the state's six-week abortion ban.

  8. Nevada Senate Democrats introduced a bill to make IVF treatments a right under state law and increase protections for fertility treatments.

  9. California Governor Gavin Newsom proposed $125 million in mortgage relief for victims of recent natural disasters.

  10. The DNC filed a brief with the Ninth Circuit to counter Republican attempts to outlaw most mail and early voting in Nevada.

Democrats are focused on protecting the American people from Trump and Musk's disastrous agenda.

We will keep fighting — and we'll keep you updated as our work continues.

Thank you,

The Democrats
