Demand Transparency and Fairness in US Trade and Labor Policies

In the wake of high-profile international meetings and ongoing labor actions, it is clear that current US trade and labor policies are failing to protect the interests of working people. The recent summit between President Trump and Vladimir Putin has raised concerns about the lack of transparency and accountability in foreign policy decisions. Meanwhile, Air Canada flight attendants continue to strike for fair wages and working conditions, underscoring the need for robust labor protections everywhere.

Trump's tariffs threaten to raise import prices for US consumers, fueling inflation and economic uncertainty. European leaders' meetings with Trump have not led to meaningful progress on fair trade or climate action. At the same time, speculative hype around AI and surging lithium prices show how unchecked corporate interests can drive volatility and exploitation in critical sectors.

We demand that US leaders act now to ensure trade, labor, and economic policies serve the public good—not just the interests of the wealthy and powerful.
