Greetings,
Main Streets across the US are in crisis. The administration’s across-the-board tariffs imposed on "Liberation Day" will spike prices, drive inflation, and bring supply chains to a grinding stop. Congress cannot continue to do nothing as this crisis unfolds. Without swift action, many small businesses will close permanently, and the US will enter a recession.
Join ASBN and Main Street Alliance tomorrow, May 1, at 5:30 PM ET / 2:30 PM PT, along with other partners for a small business briefing on efforts to end the tariffs with special guests Senator Maria Cantwell (WA) and small business owner Beth Benike, owner of Busy Baby, whose story has been covered across national media, including by the NYTimes.
Stories like Beth’s are exactly why ASBN created the ‘Tell Your Story’ campaign. From the funding freeze to tariffs, to the dismantling of many federal agencies and everything in between, the current policies are resulting in unprecedented changes that affect millions in the business community. We're collecting these stories to amplify our collective voice and push for meaningful change with senators, just like Sen. Cantwell.
