Raise Your Voice Against Pension De-Risking

In late 2023 our partners at Retirees for Justice created a petition to amend the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Since its enactment 50 Years ago, the rights that the ERISA law guaranteed have been eroded, leaving our retirement security vulnerable to ravages of corporate greed.

Retirees for Justice has drafted an amendment to ERISA, which would put in place extra protections for retirees before de-risking transactions occur. To place the ERISA amendment before the legislature, it must first be introduced by a Member of Congress.

This is why we need your help to sign this petition and show Congress that this amendment has widespread support.

At time of reporting, the petition has achieved over 1,300 signatures, but let’s get more concerned retirees and others to weigh in. Be heard, don’t be silent.

You can make your opinion heard right now by signing on the Retirees for Justice website today. You do not need to be a member of Retirees for Justice to participate, and it will only take ONE MINUTE to make a true difference.

You can use your phone to scan the QR code to go directly to the petition, or go to www.retireesforjustice.org/ take-action/#/3

We also encourage our members to explore the work of Retirees for Justice while on their website.
