Everything costs more—and Trump is making it worse

SIGN NOW: Add your name to the People's Promise to demand an economy that works for all of us >> Right now, families are cutting back on groceries, skipping medical appointments, and postponing dreams because everything costs more—and politicians in Washington, D.C. aren’t helping. That’s no coincidence. In his first 100 days, Trump’s reckless economic policies and billionaire-driven agenda have made life even more expensive for people already living on the edge. That’s why we launched The People’s Promise. It’s a nationwide call for a livable economy—one that works for everyday people, not just CEOs and campaign donors. It's time to stop letting the ultra-rich decide our future. Join the movement for economic justice by signing the People's Promise today >> SIGN THE PETITION Trump's tariffs on everyday goods are raising prices at the pump and in the produce aisle. Cuts to housing programs are driving up rent. Small businesses can’t keep up with rising supply costs. Meanwhile, billionaires like Elon Musk are given power to gut consumer protections and rig the economy in their favor—because they helped bankroll Trump’s return to power. This isn’t just bad policy—it’s the cost of a democracy where money talks louder than people. When corporate interests write the rules, working people get squeezed. Across the country, we're coming together to speak out and demand better. From rural towns to big cities, from red states to blue, Americans are rising up—not just to resist Trump’s chaos, but to build something better. We need your voice in this fight. Add your name to the People's Promise now to tell our leaders we demand an economy that puts people first. Thanks for all you do, The team at Common Cause
