Rally in support of Social Security, TUESDAY AUGUST 5th Newport

NEWPORT, RI - TUESDAY AUGUST 5, 2025
rally to voice our concern regarding changes at SOCIAL SECURITY, and to show our support for their staff.

3:30 PM to 5:30 PM
130 Bellevue Ave, Newport, RI

"They" have been breaking Social Security, so they have an excuse to privatize it. https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/29/politics/social-security-extra-verification

The recent "Big Ugly Bill" contains a convoluted provision that supposedly creates investments for newborns. Scott Bessent said the quiet part out loud - it is a back door to privatizing Social Security. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/30/bessent-trump-accounts-backdoor-privatize-social-security-00484859

Additionally, the "Big Ugly Bill" will generate cuts to Social Security in several years. https://politicalwire.com/2025/07/24/social-security-recipients-set-to-get-benefit-cuts/

Please stay on the sidewalks, and respect all private property. The plaza where the SSA office is located is private property. We will bring extra signs.

You can get on our email list - accidentalactivist68@protonmail.com.
