The future of Social Security: Free public forums in Seattle, Bellingham

Social Security is of critical importance to every American: it is the most efficient, fair, secure and universal source of retirement income, life insurance, and disability insurance available in the United States.

Now, a growing national movement to strengthen and expand Social Security is pushing back against decades of misinformation and political attacks by opponents. Join us for two free public forums on the future of America’s pension — Social Security:

Featured speakers: Terry O’Neill, National President of NOW; Rep. Adam Smith, D-WA, 9th District; and Marilyn Watkins, Policy Director, Economic Opportunity Institute. Download flyer here »

Join us to learn how we can work together to address the nation’s retirement savings crisis, strengthen family protections for all generations, and secure Social Security financing for generations to come.
