Protect our Social Security National Day of Action Rally
2026-01-14 15:00 - 16:30 | Alicia Parkway & Via Linda, Mission Viejo, Alicia Parkway & Via Linda, Mission Viejo, CA, 92691, United States
Join us as we rally to keep #SocialSecurityStrong for a National Day of Action sponsored by Social Security Workers United.
We’ll meet at the intersection of Alicia & Via Linda near the William Craycraft Park near the local Social Security Office. Bring your rally signs!
The longest federal government shutdown highlighted the long term problems that the Social Security Administration has been facing every day for years. Living paycheck to paycheck on low pay, understaffing across the agency has led many workers to their breaking point. The federal government has lacked a commitment to fully fund the agency so it can serve the American public.
Join us to fight back and keep #SocialSecurityStrong.
