CCI Social Security Ambassadors meet w/ Harkin Staff

Every other month, Ambassadors convene to recap their presentation, update CCI organizers on their work, and meet with key leaders in the fight to preserve Social Security and other vital programs.

On Saturday, August 24th, CCI Social Security Ambassadors met with Senator Harkin's (D-IA) staffer Laura Sands to learn more about his Strengthen Social Security Act, Harkin's proposal to improve retirement security in the United States. The proposed legislation would increase benefits for current and future beneficiaries, while making Social Security stronger for future generations by extending the life of the Trust Fund through 2049.

The Social Security Ambassadors team works to spread the truth to Iowans regarding Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, and share what everyday Iowans can do to strengthen the vital programs. Ambassadors host educational presentations around the state at community and labor centers, churches, and homes.
