Cut inflation, lower living costs
Lobbying

Monetary & Fiscal Policy (Lobbying)

Engage with the Federal Reserve and Congress to prioritize price stability.

Coordinate targeted advocacy that pushes both Congress and the Federal Reserve toward sustained price stability while being transparent about the recession trade-off. Focus outreach on the decision windows that move the needle—rate signals, hearings, and must-pass packages—and keep messaging grounded in household costs like groceries, rent, and energy.

Why this works

  • The Fed’s interest rate decisions strongly influence inflation; sustained lobbying for balanced rate hikes (to tame inflation without crippling jobs) could help.
  • Fiscal lobbying could push for deficit reduction or targeted stimulus (e.g.
  • subsidies for supply bottlenecks) to ease price pressures.

Protecting and enhancing retirement and health security for seniors

The National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare (NCPSSM) is a grassroots advocacy organization founded in 1982 to serve as an advocate in Washington for the financial security of seniors. NCPSSM fights against cuts to Social Security and Medicare, pushes for benefit improvements (like more accurate COLAs), and works to ensure these programs’ long-term solvency. With millions of members and supporters, the Committee lobbies Congress, conducts public education, and organizes seniors to speak out on issues such as prescription drug pricing and protection from inflation.
