Everyone’s talking about Trump’s tariffs. But here’s what they aren’t talking about: how to stop them.

On April 2nd, Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on imports from nearly every country including an island inhabited by penguins. These tariffs are upending the global economy, raising prices, and threatening American jobs.

And he’s doing it without Congress, using emergency powers to force through a multi-trillion-dollar tax hike on U.S. consumers. That’s not just bad policy—it’s an outrageous abuse of power.

📞 Call your representative and senators today and demand they stop the tariffs.

Why This Matters:

We all know the tariffs are bent on wrecking the global economy. Wall Street is sliding. Prices are rising. Businesses are bracing for impact.

It’s time for Congress to do something about it—and our Congressional leaders need to hear from us right now to encourage them to act.

Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Maria Cantwell (D-WA) have introduced the Trade Review Act of 2025, a bipartisan bill that would claw back Trump’s authority and restore Congress’s constitutional power over trade.

What We’re Demanding:

✅ Pass the Trade Review Act of 2025
✅ Stop Trump’s reckless tariffs
✅ Rein in the abuse of emergency powers before it’s too late

These tariffs are already damaging the economy and pushing us toward a recession—and Trump imposed them unilaterally, bypassing Congress. This kind of economic sabotage cannot go unchecked.
