Target: Federal Reserve Board, U.S. Congress, and U.S. Department of the Treasury
Goal: We call on federal policymakers and financial regulators to take immediate action to address rising inflation, rein in corporate profiteering, and ensure economic relief reaches everyday people, not just Wall Street.
The July inflation reports show that prices for everyday goods are rising faster than expected, squeezing families and workers across the country. Meanwhile, Wall Street indices like the S&P 500 and Dow Jones are hitting new highs, fueled by speculation about interest rate cuts and corporate earnings.
These trends are not accidental. Federal policies, including tariffs and interest rate decisions, have contributed to increased costs for consumers while failing to address stagnant wages and growing inequality. Instead of prioritizing the needs of ordinary people, policymakers continue to favor big banks and corporations, as evidenced by the focus on quarterly earnings and the lack of meaningful action to resolve global conflicts affecting supply chains.
We demand a shift in priorities: economic relief, accountability for corporate profiteering, and real solutions to the cost-of-living crisis. It’s time for bold action to ensure that economic policy works for everyone—not just the wealthy few.
