Tell Congress to Stop the Tariffs Raising Your Prices

Importers paid $264 billion in tariffs in 2025, and foreign exporters absorbed only about 6% of it.

The Letter

Subject Stop the Tariffs Raising Your Prices

Tariffs are paid by American companies at the border, not by foreign countries, and those costs show up in what families pay. In 2025, importers paid $264 billion in customs duties, more than three times the year before, and foreign exporters absorbed only about 6% of the cost.

The tariffs still in force after the Supreme Court's February ruling will cost the typical household about $1,100 this year, and the burden falls hardest on the families with the least. The poorest tenth of households lose three times the share of their income that the richest tenth do.

Families already stretched by grocery and housing costs should not be paying a hidden tax on almost everything they buy. Please use your vote and your voice to end the broad tariffs that are raising prices on American families.
