The Association for Print Technologies (APTech) has joined
with over 80 other trade organizations representing manufacturers, other
technology suppliers, retailers, services trade groups, farmers and
agribusinesses in a campaign against tariffs under the coalition banner
Americans for Free Trade (americansforfreetrade.com).
Through a
multi-million dollar nationwide campaign titled Tariffs Hurt the Heartland
(TariffsHurt.com), coalition members will tell stories of how Americans are
being economically damaged by tariffs on aluminum, steel and a myriad of
Chinese-sourced products that have spawned retaliatory tariffs on a growing
list of U.S. exports, according to APTech.
The
campaign will tell the stories through town-hall meetings, grassroots outreach
to Congress and the Trump administration, social media, and digital
advertising. The campaign also includes a searchable map (TariffsHurt.com) that
records stories of job losses, deferred investments, higher prices and other
negative consequences for businesses hurt by tariffs, according to APTech.
“The
combined power of this broad-based multi-industry effort is what’s needed to
turn back these harmful tariffs,” says Mark J. Nuzzaco, APTech vice president,
Government Affairs. “Ultimately, everybody loses in a trade war,” he said.
