SUMMARY:Our Voices Decide: Protect Social Security - You Earned It!
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to attend a conversation with AARP about Social Security sponsored by the Hopkinton Council on Aging. \nIn this election year\, AARP is fighting to get candidates\, regardless of party\, to offer solutions for protecting our hard-earned Social Security.\nSocial Security puts retirement in reach for millions of Americans. For most retirees\, it is essential in helping to cover daily living expenses and pay bills. Yet\, there are persistent misconceptions about its long-term financial stability and how it works. \nIn this interactive non-partisan Community Conversation\, you’ll learn how Social Security is funded and about the future health and stability of the program. You’ll also learn how you can help protect Social Security for the hard-working Americans who have earned it. \nVoters age 50+ are the country’s strongest voting bloc. We must raise our voices and tell candidates to offer solutions to the issues that matter to us and our families. We need to elect candidates who will listen to our struggles — and pass helpful commonsense solutions. After all\, Social Security is your money—you earned it through a lifetime of hard work. \nPlease call the Hopkinton Senior Center at (508) 497-9730 to register and reserve your seat. Residents of all towns are welcome!
