Take Action: Infrastructure Must Be Made in America!

Loading....

After decades of neglect, the United States is finally rebuilding its crumbling roads, bridges, water systems, railways, electrical grid, and more. And the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law requires that all this new infrastructure be Made in America, something 83% of registered voters support.

But special interest groups are aiming to weaken Buy America requirements and allow importers to nab taxpayer-funded contracts to build infrastructure! If they succeed, it would be a missed opportunity to make a once-in-a-generation investment while strengthening American manufacturing. Given the supply shortages of the past few years, the United States cannot afford to make this mistake!

The good news is that America’s factory workers stand ready to make everything from iron and steel to electric vehicle chargers and broadband fiberoptic cables – if given the opportunity that was promised to them in the infrastructure law.

Please join us in telling your state transportation officials to make sure our new infrastructure is Made in the USA!

Take Action: Infrastructure Must Be Made in America!

governors and state transportation officials

Subject: Our State's Infrastructure Must be Made in America!

Message:

America’s workers and manufacturers are counting on you to ensure our country’s new infrastructure is Made in America. Congress included strong Buy America policies in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law because it wanted to ensure taxpayer dollars are reinvested into strengthening America’s industrial capabilities and supporting American jobs. Americans of all political backgrounds support Buy America, as a new Morning Consult poll found 83% of registered voters support domestic content requirements for infrastructure spending! Don’t bow to pressure from importers and other special interests to use loopholes and waivers to get around Buy America. This would be a massive mistake and a missed opportunity for a once-in-a-generation investment that also boosts U.S. manufacturing. The supply shortages of the past several years have shown us the dangers of over-reliance on imports, and now we have a chance to strengthen our industrial capabilities. We can’t afford to send tax dollars outside the United States to expand manufacturing in other countries when our own industrial supply chains are in need of repair. Please fully enforce the Build America, Buy America requirements in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
