Pass a resolution at your SOAR chapter

Our retirement security is not just our union-negotiated benefits like a pension, 401k, and healthcare. It is also making sure we push for policies that protect all of the other benefits – like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid – that we have earned over the course of our working lives.

As the urgency to address the debt ceiling approaches, a growing number of lawmakers are advocating for cuts and other fundamental changes to undermine these programs.

While some are pulling back on their statements, we plan to hold their feet to the fire to ensure no concessions are made off the backs of hard-working Americans.

This resolution urges Congress to quickly raise or eliminate the debt ceiling without any spending concessions that would cut Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid now and moving forward.
