About this Event
Join The Colorado Sun for a discussion with U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet on one of the most intractable financial challenges facing Americans of all ages: the future of Social Security. We’ll talk with Colorado’s three-term Democratic senator about the current state of the federal retirement program and potential paths forward as its trust fund approaches a projected shortfall in 2034.
Whether you’re collecting benefits, contributing through your paycheck, or just starting to think about retirement, this conversation is for you. We’ll unpack the realities of the Social Security trust fund, the political roadblocks to reform, and some ideas — big and small — that could help ensure its long-term stability.
Politics Reporter Brian Eason will moderate the event.
What we’ll cover:
- What’s happening now with Social Security funding and policy
- How staff reductions and office closures are affecting services
- How proposed changes could impact different generations
- What reforms are being discussed — and where there might be common ground
This event is free and open to the public. All ages welcome.
Bring your questions. Bring your curiosity. Most of all — bring your interest in the future of a system that affects us all.
