ACTION ALERT: #FacesofTariffs Social Push July 3

Jun 28, 2018

With the approaching July 6 deadline for U.S. trade tariffs on Chinese goods to take effect—and China’s pledge it will quickly impose retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods including soybeans –the American Soybean Association (ASA) is asking for help putting a face on the problems these tariffs could cause our industry.

  • Join ASA for a social media campaign push scheduled Tuesday, July 3
  • We are requesting growers take photos of themselves and their families in the soybean fields and post using the hashtag #FacesofTariffs
  • Messaging should include our most current tariff talking points, along with, for our state partners, “Soy growers will be in DC next week and talking with their Congressmen about the detrimental outcome expected from these tariffs.” (Reminder: ASA board meetings are July 10-12)
  • We need help from all soybean-growing states and other interested organizations in pushing their growers to participate and to repost/share on their own social platforms.
  • It’s important to rally together one more time before the July 6 deadline and before our ASA board meetings.
