Tell Republicans: Hands Off Social Security

Trump Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just admitted what many have feared: Republicans are plotting to privatize Social Security. Speaking at a Breitbart event, Bessent called Trump’s so-called “Trump Baby Accounts” a “backdoor for privatizing Social Security.”

This is not a conspiracy—it’s the plan. Republican leaders and the Trump administration are working to dismantle one of the most successful and popular programs in American history, replacing guaranteed benefits with risky private investment accounts. If they get away with it, millions of seniors could see their future thrown to the mercy of the stock market.

We demand that Republicans halt all efforts—legislative or administrative—to privatize Social Security. Signing this petition sends a clear message: the American people will not stand by while their hard-earned benefits are threatened by backroom schemes and Wall Street giveaways.

Social Security Works has sounded the alarm, warning that “the Trump Administration [is] plotting to privatize Social Security.” AARP is also raising the red flag, stating unequivocally that “backdoor privatizing Social Security” would betray the promise of retirement security for generations who have paid into the system their entire working lives.

Bessent’s comments strip away the rhetoric and expose the truth: Republicans are preparing to gut Social Security, and they think they can get away with it quietly. But with public pressure, we can stop this betrayal in its tracks.

Add your name today and demand that Republicans keep their hands off Social Security. We’re fighting for justice, dignity, and the right to retire in peace—not gamble our futures on Wall Street’s roulette wheel.
