Did You Miss Our
Michigan Trade & Tariffs Town Hall?

Not to worry!  Our program was recorded and is available HERE.  
We spoke with Michigan manufacturers, growers, and economists to understand how the state has been impacted by recent tariffs.  we also discussed practical options for small- and medium-sized businesses to mitigate these effects.  This town hall was co-hosted with Tariffs Hurt the Heartland, a bipartisan, nationwide, grassroots effort supported by over 160 of the country’s largest trade organizations, representing thousands of businesses as well as agriculture producers, manufacturers, workers and consumers across the USA.
