Target: President of the United States, U.S. Trade Representative, and Members of Congress
Goal: We call on U.S. policymakers to immediately end punitive tariffs and pursue fair, cooperative, and sustainable trade policies that protect workers, support global economic stability, and prioritize human rights and environmental standards.
Recent reports show that the Trump administration's tariffs on Chinese goods are having widespread negative effects, not only on China's economy but also on workers and consumers in the United States. Industrial output, retail sales, and investment in China have fallen short of expectations, and unemployment is rising, particularly among young people. Meanwhile, U.S. consumers face higher prices and job insecurity as supply chains are disrupted and retaliatory tariffs impact American exports.
The current approach of trade protectionism and unilateralism is deepening global economic instability, undermining international cooperation, and exacerbating inequality. Instead of punitive tariffs and crackdowns on trade loopholes, we need policies that foster fair trade, protect labor rights, and promote environmental sustainability. We urge our leaders to end harmful tariffs, invest in a just transition for affected workers, and negotiate trade agreements that benefit people and planet, not just corporations.
