The Fight Isn't Over! Protest With AFL-CIO at Sen. Portman's Office Thursday

Our members of Congress are headed back to Washington after the election for a few final weeks of business. This "lame-duck" session could have a devastating impact on the future of working families.

Join the AFL-CIO in this national day of action as they protest Sen. Rob Portman to urge him to vote NO on any additional tax breaks for the richest 2% and NO to any changes to Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare.

We need more economic security, not less. But some legislators are set on reaching a "grand bargain" that would cut the benefits we depend on. They want to cut our Social Security benefits, raise the retirement age for Social Security and Medicare and cut Medicaid, forcing families into bankruptcy when a loved one needs long-term care.
