Social Security is a promise made to all Americans. This month, Social Security turns 75 years old, and people all across the nation are honoring its great history with parties and events.

In the lead-up to these events, the Alliance for Retired Americans invites you to share with us how Social Security has made a difference in your life – or positively impacted a family member, neighbor or friend.

You can submit your story here. It might be…

• A story about you, a family member, a friend or a neighbor.
• A story about Social Security helping a family survive after a tragedy.
• A story about Social Security making retirement possible.

The American Stories Project is a chance to join other Americans in demonstrating the ways that Social Security has advanced our country -our economy and communities.
