🛑 WEP & GPO: Unfairly Penalizing Public Servants 🛑

Did you know that the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO) affect millions of hardworking public servants, including teachers, police officers, and firefighters? These policies reduce or even eliminate Social Security benefits for individuals who have earned them!

Public servants dedicate their lives to our communities, and they deserve to retire with dignity. It’s time for change. Let’s stand together to demand the repeal of WEP and GPO!

📢 Take Action: Contact your Senators and urge them to support legislation that ends these unjust provisions. Dial 1-844-912-1779 or visit the link below:

With the Social Security Fairness Act — which passed the House as H.R. 82 on November 12 — stalled in the U.S. Senate, a rally is planned in Washington, DC for Wednesday, December 11th at 11:30 am.

The event will take place in collaboration with the Alliance, the FOP, IAFF, AFSCME, AFT, NEA, AFL-CIO, and NARFE. This united front represents a significant opportunity to send a powerful and undeniable message to members of the Senate: the time to act is now! ARA Executive Director Fiesta will speak at the event.

Please call 202-224-3121 and tell your senators to support this critical legislation and push for a vote before the end of the year.
