What You Can Do to Strengthen the US Economy and Create Jobs
|
A strong economy doesn’t create itself. There has to be support for
American workers and artisans across all industries and a demand for their
products. Without this, jobs will continue to seep out to other nations with
lower human rights standards and less quality and safety oversight. Without a
strong job, every time our economy stumbles, it will be that much more
difficult to regain our footing.
Create demand through your actions, both as a consumer and as a
proactive citizen. You have the power to effectuate change through your
spending choices as well as your call to others to also consider American-made
choices first and foremost! Be an advocate.
Here are some ideas to get you started.

Social media is one of the best
ways to be influential. The Foundation has its own Blog, Twitter, and Facebook
but that’s not enough. In order to get the word out to the nation we need your
help. Find a Made USA topic that you’re passionate about, whether it’s
designer apparel, funky jewelry, cool motorcycles, or Buy American laws. Then
create the go-to site or simply tweet about your choice topic. By adding your own unique voice and
style you are bound to gather an audience that otherwise might not have been
reached. Just don’t forget to let us know what you’ve created so that we can
tweet, friend, and follow you too!

It’s important to let businesses
know what you want. After all, the consumer creates the demand and demand creates
the business. We want to keep manufacturing domestic to create more and better
jobs, and a healthier economy. Write a few letters, make a few calls, and
hold a rally outside of your neighborhood superstore. If the business you work
for buys foreign supplies, talk to your supervisor. When you can’t find the
labeling at your favorite online store call customer service. Let them know
that foreign made goods just aren't going to cut it anymore- you want, and will
buy Made in the USA!

Being a non-profit organization
the Foundation needs grants, donations, and members to survive. We are working diligently to create
American jobs, bolster the U.S. economy, and fight for American manufacturers
and businesses. To accomplish these goals, we must work together. Please assist
us in our efforts to stabilize our economy and bring pride and power back to
those who create, craft, and employ American. Any donation – small or large –
helps us empower others. Together we can rebuild our once indomitable industrial
foundation of “Made in the USA.”
