Students for Saving Social Security

Students for Saving Social Security

Students for Saving Social Security, or S4 for short, is a U.S. activist group comprising college students in over 260 chapters, with headquarters in Washington D.C. Founded in 2005, it proposes reforming the Social Security laws to permit personal savings accounts.

Co-founders Jonathan Swanson and Patrick Wetherille have proclaimed: :"Students for Saving Social Security will lead the charge to inform, organize, and mobilize today's college students to engage in the Social Security debate. Through honest, non-partisan debate we hope to represent the interests of young Americans. We want politicians to understand that an entire generation of voters can be won — or lost — on an issue with lasting implications for our future."
