Target: U.S. Congress, President of the United States, Department of Labor, Department of Commerce

Goal: We call upon Congress and the Administration to ensure that all new manufacturing investments and trade policies prioritize environmental justice, strong labor protections, and community benefits, rather than serving as giveaways to large corporations or

Recent developments in U.S. manufacturing have been touted as victories for American workers, yet the reality is more complex. While investments in domestic manufacturing are welcome, we must ensure that these initiatives prioritize environmental sustainability, worker rights, and equitable economic development rather than simply replicating exploitative models or benefiting corporate interests.

While recent headlines celebrate new investments in U.S. manufacturing and trade negotiations with China, these developments risk repeating the mistakes of the past unless we center workers, communities, and the planet in our economic policies.

Too often, 'reshoring' and 'competitiveness' are used as buzzwords to justify deregulation, union-busting, and environmental rollbacks. We must not allow new manufacturing projects—like the recently announced battery plants—to proceed without robust labor standards, community input, and climate safeguards.

Instead of a race to the bottom, let's pursue a just transition: one that invests in green technology, guarantees living wages, supports unionization, and ensures that frontline communities benefit from new economic opportunities. Trade policy should not be a tool for corporate profit, but a means to uplift working people and protect our shared future.

Key Demands

Require all new manufacturing investments to meet strong environmental and climate standards, including a rapid transition to renewable energy.
Guarantee living wages, safe working conditions, and the right to unionize for all workers in new and existing manufacturing facilities.
Ensure that local communities—especially those historically marginalized—have a voice in decisions about new manufacturing projects and receive direct economic benefits.
Reject trade policies that undermine labor, environmental, or human rights standards at home or abroad.
Prioritize public investment in green technology and infrastructure, rather than relying on corporate tax breaks or deregulation.
