Progressives must lead on trade.

This isn’t just economic policy—it’s a racial, gender, and climate justice issue. A better future for workers means rewriting the rules and rejecting corporate capture.

Trump’s trade agenda isn’t pro-worker—it’s a con.
Behind closed-door deals and empty rhetoric, his policies serve the wealthy, not working people. We need transparency, accountability, and worker voices at the table.

Unions built the American middle class.
Progressive trade policy must go hand-in-hand with strengthening workers’ rights:
✅ Fund the NLRB
✅ Repeal anti-union executive orders
✅ Pass the PRO Act
✅ Enforce labor standards across borders

Building a strong manufacturing economy requires more than tariffs.

We need public investment, workforce development, and policies that reward union labor—like the CHIPS Act and Inflation Reduction Act.

Tariffs aren’t inherently good or bad. Like taxes, they’re a tool.

But Trump wields them like a weapon—rewarding cronies, hurting workers.

We need strategic, targeted tariffs that support labor rights, climate action, and domestic manufacturing.

For decades, corporate-led trade deals like NAFTA and the USMCA have gutted U.S. jobs, suppressed wages, and undermined communities.

Meanwhile, Trump’s erratic tariffs create more chaos than solutions.

We need a new approach.
