If you ask people 40 or younger about Social Security and Medicare, they often comment that these programs won't be there for them; they are wrong. Join us for a seminar that will help you present our social safety net programs Social Security and Medicare through a progressive lens in the era of Trump.

• Social Security and Medicare are systems owned by the American people; these are earned benefits.
• It makes no sense to dismantle the shared highway system. We give the same message for Social Security and Medicare. We can’t pull them apart brick by brick.

• Social Security and Medicare are more reliable, secure, and efficient than any private sector alternative.
• Before Social Security and Medicare many more Americans lived in poverty.

• Private health insurance corporations and employers refuse to cover so many hardworking Americans. Expanding Medicare to all Americans will provide even more efficiency and stability to the system.
• Social Security is the most reliable part of the retirement system. We should invest in a system that works.
• Income inequality has peaked in the United States and it’s time for the wealthiest Americans to pay the same rate as the rest of us.
