Target: President of the United States, U.S. Congress
Goal: Urge the administration and Congress to halt new tariffs on semiconductors and steel, and instead invest in sustainable manufacturing, fair trade, and worker protections.
President Trump's proposed tariffs on semiconductors and steel—potentially as high as 300%—will have devastating consequences for American families, workers, and the broader economy. These tariffs will not bring back manufacturing jobs, but will instead increase costs for consumers, disrupt supply chains, and stifle innovation in critical sectors like technology, healthcare, and green energy.
Tariffs are a blunt instrument that often lead to retaliation, job losses, and price hikes. Instead of punitive tariffs, we need policies that support workers through investments in education, job training, and sustainable industry. We urge our leaders to reject these tariffs and pursue real solutions that benefit all Americans, not just a select few.
