Students for Saving Social Security

S4 was founded in March 2005 and proposed changing Social Security laws to permit personal savings accounts.

Co-founders Jonathan Swanson and Patrick Wetherille 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.

Three directors of S4, Marco Zappacosta, Jonathan Swanson, Jeremy Tunnell went on to found the online marketplace and unicorn company Thumbtack.
