Target: U.S. Congress, President of the United States, and the United States Trade Representative
Goal: We call on policymakers to provide transparency about the true impact of tariffs, prioritize relief for those most affected, and pursue trade policies that put the well-being of American families and workers first.
Tariffs have been promoted as a tool to strengthen the U.S. economy, but the evidence shows that the costs are falling on American consumers and businesses. Despite claims that tariffs are generating billions in revenue, this money is coming directly from American pockets—not foreign governments. Prices are rising, the job market is unstable, and small businesses are struggling to absorb increased costs.
While some argue that these policies will eventually bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States, there is little evidence that this will happen without significant pain for working families. The reality is that higher manufacturing costs will lead to even more expensive goods for everyone, and the supposed benefits of 'reshoring' are far from guaranteed.
We urge our leaders to acknowledge the real impact of tariffs, provide immediate relief to those harmed, and ensure that trade policy is shaped by the needs of people—not political headlines.
