Target: U.S. Congress, State Attorneys General, and relevant federal oversight agencies
Goal: We call on Congress and state leaders to restore democratic oversight, transparency, and accountability to U.S. trade and economic policy, ensuring that decisions are made in the public interest—not at the whim of any one individual.
Under the previous administration, U.S. trade and economic policy became a tool for personal vendettas and political posturing, rather than a means of supporting American workers and communities. Decisions were made on a whim, without meaningful consultation, oversight, or regard for long-term consequences. This has resulted in:
- Damaging trade wars that hurt American farmers, workers, and consumers
- Increased reliance on foreign powers for critical resources
- Undermining of U.S. institutions and global credibility
- Wasteful government spending for personal gain
- Suppression of oversight agencies and democratic processes
We cannot allow a repeat of these abuses. The power to shape economic policy must be transparent, accountable, and subject to democratic checks. It is time to strengthen the guardrails of our democracy and ensure that economic decisions serve the many, not the few.
Key Demands
- Pass legislation requiring Congressional approval for major trade policy changes, tariffs, and sanctions.
- Establish independent oversight of executive economic actions, with regular public reporting.
- Restore funding and independence to agencies tasked with protecting workers, consumers, and the environment.
- Investigate and hold accountable any misuse of government funds for personal or political gain.
- Ensure transparency and public input in all major economic and trade decisions.
