Social Security Truth Truck Tour: March 21-April 2
The Alliance for Retired Americans, affiliated with the AFL-CIO, has collected 1 million messages calling on Members of Congress to reject any Social Security plan that will cut benefits or divert money from the Trust Fund. From March 21 through April 1, the Alliance’s Truth Truck Tour will load these messages on a truck and then visit - in person - more than 20 Members of Congress from Florida to New York.
