Social Security Administration office
130 Bellevue Ave, Newport, RI
In addition to protesting the cuts to Social Security from DOGE, let's show our support for the staffers at the Social Security Administration.
The plaza where the office is located is private property.
Please stay on the sidewalks, and respect all private property.
Parking is not always easy in Newport. Please respect street signs.
This rally was organized as part of the HANDS OFF SOCIAL SECURITY call to action, from Social Security Works. For more information, see: https://actionnetwork.org/event_campaigns/hands-off-social-security
The attempts to dismantle Social Security continue. The plan is to cut 87% of the staff at the regional offices.

One of mine from April 5 is on the list. This is not efficiency. This is a crime spree.
I modified it for Tuesday. SSA staffers are efficient. DOGE is not.
