Target: U.S. Congress and the White House
Goal: We call on Congress and the White House to immediately repeal harmful tariffs, prioritize policies that lower costs for everyday people, and protect jobs in our communities.
Tariffs, described by Federal Reserve President Austan Goolsbee as 'stagflationary,' are causing a dangerous mix of rising prices and stagnating job growth. Since the implementation of wide-ranging tariffs, inflation has increased while job creation has slowed dramatically. These tariffs act as hidden taxes on working people, raising the cost of everyday goods and threatening economic stability.
While some argue that tariffs reduce the deficit, the real cost is paid by families, workers, and small businesses who face higher prices and fewer job opportunities. The evidence is clear: tariffs are not the solution. We need policies that strengthen the economy from the bottom up, not measures that squeeze working people while benefiting a select few.
We urge our elected leaders to repeal these harmful tariffs and pursue economic policies that protect jobs, lower costs, and ensure prosperity for all.
