	"description": "Most people do not think about the Federal Reserve every day, but the decisions it makes can shape whether families can afford a mortgage, whether small businesses can borrow money, whether wages grow, and whether people can find and keep good jobs. That is why the Fed’s mission matters. Right now, the Fed is supposed to pursue stable prices and maximum employment. That balance is important because economic policy affects real people. When interest rates rise, families pay more on credit cards, car loans, mortgages, and small-business loans. Hiring can slow down. Wages can weaken. Workers can lose jobs. Now Congress is considering the so-called Price Stability Act, a one-sentence bill with one dangerous goal that would tell the Federal Reserve to stop treating maximum employment as part of its core mission. This bill would take workers out of the equation. It would let lawmakers claim they are fighting inflation while removing one of the basic protections that forces the Fed to consider the human cost of its decisions. Families need lower prices and strong jobs at the same time. They need policymakers to address corporate price gouging, tariffs, gas prices, housing costs, health care costs, child care costs, and the real reasons everyday life has become so expensive. The Price Stability Act dodges all of that. It does not make groceries cheaper. It does not lower rent. It does not protect consumers from Wall Street or corporate greed. It simply makes it easier for policymakers to ignore rising unemployment and call that economic policy. The maximum employment mandate is especially important for workers and communities that are usually hit first when the economy slows. Black, Brown, low-income, disabled, younger, and marginalized workers often face the harshest consequences when hiring weakens and layoffs spread. Congress should protect the Fed’s responsibility to pursue maximum employment, not erase it. Lawmakers need to hear that working people refuse to be written out of the economy. Click “START WRITING” to send a message demanding your members of Congress oppose the Price Stability Act and protect the Fed’s maximum employment mandate.",
