Seniors with the Texas Alliance for Retired Americans are set to rally in Dallas outside the Social Security Administration, 10824 N. Central Expressway, at 10 a.m. Wednesday, April 9, to protest the actions of the Trump administration and Elon Musk’s so-called “Department of Government Efficiency.”
TARA President Gene Lantz said, “Since this administration took office, the Social Security Administration has cut more than 10 percent of its workforce, announced it will close 47 local and regional offices, and eliminate telephone services for people claiming retirement or survivor benefits. These changes are not making Social Security more efficient or eliminating fraud. They are making it harder for people to claim the benefits they have earned over a lifetime of work and pave the way for privatization of Social Security.”
Last month the Alliance for Retired Americans, a grassroots advocacy organization with 4.4 million members, together with AFSCME and AFT, filed a lawsuit against the Social Security Administration to prevent access to sensitive personal and financial data to DOGE. The Social Security Administration maintains sensitive personal, financial, and health information about every American retiree and taxpayer.
