An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress; State Governors & Legislatures

Urge diplomacy over destructive trade war and tariffs

3 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

These new tariffs imposed by the US administration on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China are deeply concerning. Escalating a trade war with close allies and major trading partners will ultimately harm American businesses and consumers through increased costs, disrupted supply chains, and retaliatory actions. Rather than embracing protectionist policies that isolate the US, we should be strengthening economic ties and partnerships around the world through expanded free trade agreements. Tariffs are a blunt instrument that provide little strategic benefit while raising prices and reducing economic growth. I urge you to work towards resolving trade disputes through dialogue and negotiation, not unilateral tariff actions that damage relations with long-standing friends and partners. The US economy thrives on open markets and fair competition - let's avoid policies that undermine those principles. Engage with industry groups and experts to fully understand the potential impacts before escalating these destructive trade battles further. American prosperity relies on robust international trade and cooperation, not conflict. Please reconsider this harmful approach.
