The Federal Reserve's decision to maintain high interest rates is causing undue economic hardship for millions of Americans.

Recent data from the U.S. Labor Department shows weaker-than-expected job growth and an increase in the unemployment rate. This economic slowdown is a direct result of the Fed's refusal to cut interest rates despite clear evidence that such a move is necessary to prevent a recession.

High interest rates disproportionately affect lower-income Americans, worsen the nation's housing crisis, and stifle wage growth. The Fed's inaction raises the risk of a recession, which would have devastating consequences for hard-working families across the country.

Tell the Fed: Cut Interest Rates Now.

High interest rates are not just numbers on a chart; they translate into real-life struggles. Families are finding it harder to afford homes, small businesses are grappling with higher borrowing costs, and job markets are feeling the pressure. The impact is widespread, and we must act swiftly to protect the most vulnerable among us.

What's more, there are troubling accusations from the Revolving Door Project and progressive economists that Fed Chair Jerome Powell is keeping rates high to benefit Donald Trump's electoral prospects in 2024.

This isn't just an economic issue—it's an erosion of democratic norms and a threat to fair governance. Ensuring the Fed acts based on economic data rather than political motivations is crucial.

It's time to act. Tell the Fed to cut interest rates now.
