Friend,
For many citizens, the American dream has been downsized.
In recent decades, the U.S. has become increasingly reliant on importing goods from abroad, particularly China, leading to the closure of thousands of factories and costing the country millions of well-paying manufacturing jobs.
This has hurt not only the economy but also democracy.
As globalization has intensified, democracies around the world, including ours, have experienced backsliding: polarization and far-right nationalism have increased, while high-income countries have prioritized the profits of multinational corporations over the well-being of their citizens.
We need a new economic patriotism that reinvests in our factory towns and calls for a globalization rooted in the interests of ordinary Americans. Boosting domestic production and rebalancing trade will rebuild the U.S. as a manufacturing superpower, revitalizing the American dream.
Sign if you agree: It’s time to bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States.
Restoring our industrialization need not come at the expense of the rest of the world. On the contrary, we can reawaken industries such as steel and aluminum while preserving key trading relationships, welcoming immigrants, and encouraging innovation. It’s a win-win situation.
Luckily, the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS and Science Act have sparked American industry by investing hundreds of billions of dollars in key technologies, putting us on track to bring back 350,000 jobs from overseas in 2022. I’m proud to have played a role in their passage.
What this proves is that our leaders can work together to develop human capital and support quality jobs that will generate dynamic growth, building a progressive capitalism for the twenty-first century.
Rebalancing trade through domestic production will help lessen tensions with China, realize the promise of our democracy at home, and ensure that globalization works for all Americans, not just the wealthy.
Sign the petition: Reinvest in American manufacturing.
In solidarity,
Ro
