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.
