Come and bring a friend – bring a carload! – to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of Social Security with U.S. Senator Patty Murray as our featured speaker!
Toast Social Security with sparkling cider. Enjoy your slice of the birthday cake provided courtesy of the retired teachers of AFT Washington. Bear witness to our determination to defend our nation’s premier social program!
The event will be held at 1:30 p.m. Monday, August 16, at the Greenwood Senior Center, 525 N. 85th Street in Seattle. Overflow parking and free shuttle service are available at the nearby Greenwood Market, 8500 2nd Avenue N.W., courtesy of the Wallingford Community Senior Center.
Sponsoring the event are the Greenwood Senior Center, the Puget Sound Alliance for Retired Americans, and the 18 organizations affiliated with “Social Security Works – Washington,” the new coalition organized to defend the integrity of Social Security – and to make it better.
The anniversary observance is more than a “feel good” occasion. It will take place at a time of political peril, with members of the President’s Bipartisan Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform determined to use the federal budget deficit as a pretext to raid the dedicated Social Security Trust Fund.
“We’re shooting for a capacity audience of 300,” said PSARA President Robby Stern. “Please make a special effort to build this anniversary celebration. We’ll invite everyone to sign a mass letter to President Obama and to place cell phone calls to the White House and to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.”
