Take Action: U.S. Workers Need New Trade Tools to Compete with China!

It's no secret that China uses predatory trade practices to undermine American workers and businesses. These unfair tactics have led to millions of lost jobs and countless factory closures -- and are one of the reasons why the United States is reliant on China for our essential needs.

New bipartisan legislation called the Leveling the Playing Field Act 2.0 would create new trade enforcement mechanisms so America's workers and manufacturers can fight back against China's increasingly sophisticated trade cheating.

Tell your Members of Congress to support the Leveling the Playing Field Act 2.0!

Dear [elected official],

I write to urge that you cosponsor the Level the Playing Field Act 2.0 (S.691 / H.R.1548), which modernizes U.S. trade enforcement tools relied upon by U.S. companies and American workers to combat China’s increasingly sophisticated and unfair trade practices.

The threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) predatory industrial policies and unfair trade practices are an everyday reality for U.S. manufacturers and their workers. Relief from persistent unfair trade attacks is too often granted only after factories have already been forced to shutter or scale back operations and only after workers have lost their jobs. To make matters worse, China and other serial trade cheats then find ways to circumvent the duties that have been put in place to level the playing field. Action is urgently needed by Congress to strengthen our unfair trade tools so that companies in the steel, engine, furniture, solar, paper, seafood, tire, and other sectors can fight back against China’s market distorting practices.

This bipartisan, bicameral bill strengthens our antidumping and countervailing duty trade remedy laws to counter a litany of unfair trade practices that have contributed to the loss of millions of good, middle-class jobs and fostered a dangerous overreliance on far-flung supply chains that jeopardize the safety and security of all Americans. The bill addresses “country hopping” circumvention tactics, expands existing authorities to counter Belt and Road Initiative subsidies provided by the CCP to other countries, and accelerates the timeline for anti-circumvention inquiries.

As the House and Senate work to bolster U.S. economic competitiveness and national security, it is essential that they pass the Level the Playing Field Act 2.0 (S.691 / H.R.1548) and other policies designed to help our factory workers and manufacturers fight China’s predatory trade practices and rampant trade cheating. Recent investments in manufacturing by the federal government and the private sector will all be for naught if China can continue to undermine U.S. companies and American workers through unfair trade.

Please cosponsor the Level the Playing Field Act 2.0 (S.691 / H.R.1548).

Sincerely, [Your information here]
