Advocacy News – March 19, 2026
What’s happening: The MI Chamber has joined the Michigan Smart Trade Alliance (MISTA) – a growing coalition advocating for clear, consistent trade and tariff policies that support Michigan’s economy.
Why it matters: Michigan businesses compete in a global marketplace. Stable, predictable trade policy helps employers plan, invest and support jobs and communities across the state.
What we’re doing: We’re working with MISTA to elevate thoughtful, nonpartisan discussions around trade and tariff policy – grounded in clarity, predictability and long-term growth.
What’s next: Join a free virtual briefing hosted by the Alliance on the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling and what it may mean for tariffs, trade and global competitiveness.
