The Threat
A meteor of our own making.
Powerful interests in Washington are working right now to weaken the program — and the agency that delivers it. Here's what we're up against.
Raising the Retirement Age
Pushing the retirement age higher is a benefit cut in disguise — punishing the working Americans who spent a lifetime paying in.
Staffing & Service Cuts
Slashing SSA's workforce delays checks, lengthens wait times, and is designed to break the agency from the inside. We're sounding the alarm.
Leadership
Martin O'Malley
Former Commissioner, Social Security Administration
For over a quarter century, Martin O'Malley has been a devoted public servant — Mayor of Baltimore, two-term Governor of Maryland, and, most recently, Commissioner of the Social Security Administration, where he led the 90-year-old agency serving more than 71 million beneficiaries.
His tenure revitalized SSA through data-driven management — cutting 1-800 wait times from over 40 minutes to under 13, slashing the disability hearings backlog, and reforming punitive overpayment policies. Now he's bringing that fight to Washington.
"The future is what we make of it. We are all in this together, and the only thing that can stop us is the limits we place on our own imagination."
In Their Words
A record of results.
“Instead of passing the buck on accountability and efficiency, governors like Martin O'Malley have revolutionized performance management systems, showing the American people precisely how their governments are working for them.
“Governor O'Malley is a lifelong public servant who has spent his career making government more accessible and transparent, while keeping the American people at the heart of his work.
“Over his career in public service, Governor O'Malley built a world-class reputation for harnessing technology to deliver transformative change to government services.
Scrap the Cap. Defend the Promise.
Add your name and join millions of Americans demanding that Congress protect Social Security — no cuts, no privatization, no exceptions.
