How are you prepared for the tariff hit? Are you stocked up? Did you panic purchase food items? Is your car fixed? Are you able to prep?
Look around your kitchen, what pantry staples are from out of the states? The packaging is made where?

"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.'"

Let's honor his legacy by continuing the fight for social and economic justice.
