This sounds like a cool panel to check out. The Delaware Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) and the National Committee to Preserve Social Security & Medicare (NCPSSM) are co-hosting an event on the former President’s birthday as a tribute to President John F. Kennedy, who strengthened Social Security, fought for the establishment of Medicare, and advocated for closing the same corporate tax loopholes that corporations still abuse to this day. The speakers will be Wilmington Mayor Dennis P. Williams, retired Delaware Social Security executive Tom Tobin, NCPSSM Grassroots National Director Ernie Powell, and businessman Andrew Groff, and Jon “Bowzer” Bauman, former lead singer of the famous Sha Na Na, will sing Happy Birthday to the President, hopefully not in the Marilyn Monroe style.
What: Event to celebrate JFK’s legacy and learn more about the choice between closing corporate tax loopholes and cutting Social Security or Medicare.
When: Wednesday, May 29, 7pm
Where: Wilmington Senior Center, 1901 N. Market St.
Additional speakers at the event include: Delaware ADA and NCPSSM are members of the national coalition Americans for Tax Fairness. Additional co-sponsors include DSEA, AFSCME Council 81, Delaware NOW, Delaware NAACP, Delaware DBTU, and SEIU 32BJ.
