Social Security reform is not solely a critical issue for seniors, the disabled, and the dependent survivors of workers who die young – each community of color has a distinct stake in its outcome.  Please join us for a dynamic, interactive dialogue discussing:

• How Social Security reform uniquely affects African Americans, Latinos/Hispanics, Native Americans and Asian Americans;
• How Social Security reform uniquely affects men, women, and children of color;
• The current political climate, including why conservatives perpetuate the myth that Social Security is bankrupt; and,
• Recommendations for strengthening Social Security in a targeted, equitable way.

Panelists are members of The Commission to Modernize Social Security and include:

• Maya Rockeymoore (Moderator), President and CEO of Global Policy Solutions
• Dave Baldridge, Executive Director of the International Association for Indigenous Aging
• Wilhelmina Leigh, Senior Research Associate of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies
• Meizhu Lui, Director Emeritus of the Closing the Racial Wealth Gap Initiative
• Leticia Miranda, Associate Director of the Economic and Employment Policy Project, NCLR
