FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 25, 2025
CAMBRIDGE, MD — Concerned seniors and community members from across Maryland’s Eastern Shore will gather this week to show strong and vocal support for Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid—and to send a clear message to Rep. Andy Harris and Congress: Hands off our earned benefits.
The rally aims to highlight the vital role these programs play in the lives of seniors, many of whom rely on them to maintain health, stability, and dignity in retirement. Organizers are encouraging attendees to bring signs, mobility aids such as canes, walkers, or wheelchairs, and, most importantly, their voices.
EVENT DETAILS:
What: Senior-led Rally in Support of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid
When: Tuesday, April 29, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM
Where: Social Security Administration, 309 Sunburst Hwy, Cambridge, MD 21613
RSVP: https://www.mobilize.us/cambridgeindivisible/event/781321/
The rally is part of a broader national movement opposing cuts or changes that would weaken Social Security and other earned benefit programs. Organizers stress the importance of continued political pressure, especially in light of proposed federal budget changes that could impact funding.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ATTENDEES:
Out of respect for the community and those accessing services, attendees are asked not to park in the Social Security Administration’s main lot. Please use side streets for parking, or arrange to drop off passengers before parking.
