Target: U.S. Congress and the Biden Administration
Goal: Urge Congress and the Biden administration to reject fear-based economic policies, end harmful tariffs, and create trade policies that prioritize workers, environmental protection, and democratic accountability.
Recent legal challenges to the previous administration’s reciprocal tariffs have exposed the dangers of relying on executive power and secretive trade deals that prioritize multinational corporations over workers and communities. The administration’s own doomsday warnings about the end of these tariffs reveal a willingness to use fear to maintain policies that have hurt farmers, workers, and consumers through higher prices and retaliatory trade wars.
Instead of doubling down on failed policies, we must demand a new approach: one that ends harmful tariffs, rejects fear-mongering, and builds a trade system rooted in transparency, environmental justice, and respect for working people. The U.S. should not threaten economic catastrophe to defend policies that lack democratic legitimacy and hurt everyday people. We call on Congress and the Biden administration to take immediate action to protect workers, communities, and our democracy.
