Protect Working Families from Tariff-Induced Price Hikes

Target: U.S. Congress and the President of the United States

Goal: We call on lawmakers to take immediate action to shield working families from the harmful effects of tariffs and to prioritize consumer protections over trade wars.

Recent reports show that retail sales are rising as shoppers rush to buy goods before tariffs drive up prices. While some sectors see short-term gains, working families face growing uncertainty and increased costs due to the administration’s tariff policies.

The Commerce Department’s recent report highlights a 0.5% rise in retail sales for July, with consumers stepping up purchases of essential goods like dishwashers and furniture. This uptick is not a sign of economic health, but rather a response to looming price hikes caused by tariffs imposed by the current administration. These tariffs threaten jobs and strain household budgets, especially for low- and middle-income families.

Trade wars and unpredictable tariff policies create instability for workers, small businesses, and consumers. Instead of protecting communities, these measures increase the cost of living and undermine economic security. We demand that our elected leaders act now to halt harmful tariffs, support fair trade, and implement policies that put people before profits.
