About 100 California Alliance for Retired Americans active seniors descended upon the Laney College campus in Oakland over lunch hour yesterday for a rally and discussion of Social Security and its importance for future generations.
The seniors engaged students 1-1, encouraged them to sign petitions to secure Social Security and also spoke out at a rally in the Commons about the current threats to Social Security and how the students can get involved to preserve it.
Many students had not heard about the threats to Social Security or talk about raising the retirement age. They were surprised and interested to discuss the program with another generation.
