Thousands of Americans Stand Up for Social Security

We worked with our allies at Americans United to Protect Social Security to organize the "Take A Stand" campaign. In total, we held 224 Take a Stand events and 53 town hall meetings in the districts of 65 uncommitted members of Congress urging them to stand up against President Bush's risky privatization scheme. Thousands of Americans stood up for Social Security at events across the country.
