Social Security Works President testifies before Democratic Platform Committee on Social Security expansion

“Expanding Social Security is a solution. It’s a solution to our nation’s retirement income crisis, to income and wealth inequality, to the financial squeeze on working families. In short, expanding Social Security is profoundly wise policy. It’s also the will of the people.”

In this segment of the 2016 Democratic platform committee hearings, the DNC calls on the experts to discuss the party’s Social Security policy and strategy options moving forward.

Nancy Altman, President of Social Security Works and all-around Social Security expansion authority, testifies before platform drafting committee chairman, Representative Elijah Cummings, and other members, regarding S.427–the Social Security Expansion Act, reintroduced by Senator Bernie Sanders in February of this year.
