Petition: Trump's tariffs

Congress has the power to stand up against Trump's tariffs and protect everyday Americans.

SIGN NOW: Congress is pretending they're powerless to stop Trump's tariffs. Don't buy it – demand they assert their power and stick up for folks like us >> Pamela, Groceries, clothes, furniture – everything is getting more expensive again. And there's a big reason why. President Trump just reignited a trade war by slapping sweeping new tariffs on goods we rely on every day. That means higher prices at the store, more pressure on working families, and more uncertainty for small businesses already struggling to stay afloat. Whatever you think about tariffs – this isn't something we can leave up to any one person. Our elected representatives in Congress have the power and responsibility to weigh in. They can't just sit on their hands while Trump makes decisions that raise prices for millions of Americans. Sign the petition: Our members of Congress need to do their jobs and put Trump's tariffs up for a vote >> SIGN THE PETITION From day one, Trump, Musk, and their cronies have been pushing the limits of their power, trying to cut crucial services and shut down agencies that Congress has already funded – all to enrich the 1% at the expense of everyday Americans. Trump's tariffs could cost the average American household thousands of dollars more each year and potentially trigger a global recession.   Our Constitution gives Congress the power to regulate trade – and we need to make it clear they have an obligation to step in, use their power, and put We The People first. But instead, too many members of the President's party are afraid to cross him, no matter how many Americans their inaction hurts. Congressional Republicans are reportedly "terrified" of the President – and want to give him "several months" to implement his destructive tariffs. [1] Let's remind them: they work for us, not for Trump's political agenda. Everyday Americans can't afford to wait several months – we need action NOW. Join us to tell Congress: You have the power to stand up against Trump's tariffs and protect everyday Americans – it's time to use it.
