Latino Leaders Coalition Unveils Plan to Protect Social Security

Published January 19, 2011

A coalition of Latino organizations launched a campaign Wednesday to push for the protection of Social Security, which leaders say is the sole source of income for half of all Hispanic senior citizens.

The coalition, named Latinos for a Secure Retirement, unveiled policy recommendations that the group says aim “to ensure the sustainability and solvency of Social Security for the next 75 years and beyond without any cuts to benefits or increase in the retirement age.â€
