Celebrate 90 Years of Social Security with AARP!

Posted on 07/08/25

Since 1935, Social Security has been a lifeline for millions of Americans—retirees, people with disabilities, and families who’ve lost loved ones. Today, over 67 million Americans rely on it, including nearly 1.3 million in Massachusetts.

But Social Security is under pressure. AARP is fighting to protect the benefits you’ve earned and improve customer service at the Social Security Administration. We need your voice to keep this program strong for generations to come.

✅ Take action: Email your lawmakers and tell them to protect Social Security and fix customer service issues.
✅ Get informed: Visit AARP’s Social Security Resource Center for tools, answers, and updates.

Let’s celebrate the past—and shape the future—of Social Security together. See you in Waltham or Gardner!
