WISCONSIN ALLIANCE FOR RETIRED AMERICANS

This last week we held awareness rallies for Social Security in Wausau and in Wisconsin Rapids.

The Wisconsin Rapids Field Office was the hardest hit office due to the DOGE employee buyouts in March when they lost 58% of their staff – leaving just 3 employees to manage all the public’s earned benefit work. The Wisconsin Alliance for Retired Americans decided to pay them a visit today to thank them for their service by demanding private interest keep their hands off their Social Security.

SSA is 90 years strong this week on August 14 and the program doesn’t run without its dedicated unionized federal workforce. Congress must intervene to fully fund and staff SSA local and support offices with federal union workers before it’s too late!

For 90 years, Social Security has been a vital source of income for families across the country. It’s not a handout. It’s a hard-earned right. But now, that promise is under attack by Republican lawmakers more interested in protecting billionaires than working families. So, communities across the country are fighting back. Fix the cap on Social Security so the wealthiest are paying their fair share and it will remain solvent.
