📣 #NO Tariffs on Tea – Virtual Protest | Thursday, July 31st & August 1st
Tea lovers, small business owners, and advocates for fair trade, it's time to make our voices heard. On Thursday, July 31st and August 1st join the #NOTariffsOnTea virtual protest to stand up against harmful tariffs that threaten the tea industry in the United States.
Tea is not grown in the U.S. at scale. These tariffs don’t protect American farmers. They hurt small businesses and drive up prices for consumers.
Tea business owners across the country are calling on federal leaders to exempt tea from the current and proposed tariffs. We need your help to make this movement visible and impossible to ignore.
Here’s how to join the virtual protest:
📸 Snap a photo with your favorite cup of tea
✍️ Make a sign that says #NOTariffsOnTea
🌐 Post it online with the hashtag #NOTariffsOnTea
💬 Tell your story — why does tea matter to you?
Whether you’re a daily tea drinker, a café regular, or a small business advocate, your voice matters. Let’s flood the internet with cups of tea and messages of protest and send a clear message to policymakers.
📅 Date: Thursday, July 31st & August 1st
📍Where: Online – Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), Threads, TikTok, LinkedIn — anywhere you share your voice
🎯 Goal: Go viral. Get attention. Demand exemption.
✊ No tariffs. Just tea.
