Welcome

Seventy percent of Americans view inflation as a very big problem for the country and almost half of Americans don't understand inflation or interest rates. The combination of these statistics show that voters in this country both deeply care about and also don’t fully understand how inflation works, making it difficult for them to know how to cast their votes when it comes to this dealing with this national issue.
Americans deserve to know the truth about the government policies that have caused the highest inflation and soon-to-be rapid trajectory of interest rates not seen in a generation. They need to know why they are experiencing pain at the gas pumps and grocery stores, as family budgets continue to take hits and will ultimately provoke a painful recession. If government policies continue as they are, they will make the situation worse for future taxpaying generations.
American Impact's program educates, engages & mobilizes citizens to take action. In a new ABC News poll, 80% of Americans said inflation is an extremely or very important factor in how they'll cast their ballot this fall. Citizens can make a difference, but first they must be empowered with knowledge and understanding of the issues and how policies directly impact them.
