One goal of the event will be to dispel myths about the future solvency of Social Security, said Leif Grina, MRRC president. “Our theme is ‘Social Security: Count on it,’” he said. “It’s going to be there — we need to preserve it, strengthen it, and expand it.”

“It’s an organizing event,” Grina added. “We’re going to challenge people to get involved around this issue in the 2020 elections.”
