✏️📚Back to school means fresh starts and everyday essentials. Why not make them American made?

From colorful leggings and T shirts to dresses, shorts, and underwear, City Threads proves that everyday basics can be made to last while supporting American jobs.

📣The people behind American manufacturing advocacy have stories of their own.

Meet Meghan Hasse, AAM's Regional Advocacy Coordinator for the Midwest. Meghan grew up in a union family in Green Bay, Wisconsin, spent summers working in a paper mill alongside her father, and has spent the last 18 years advocating for American manufacturing and the workers and communities that depend on it.

From meeting with lawmakers and tracking manufacturing policy to writing about Made in America companies and connecting with local unions, Meghan's work reflects AAM's mission every day. Her story is also a reminder that behind every manufacturing job is a family, a community, and a future worth fighting for.

This is the first in our new Regional Advocacy Coordinator profile series, highlighting the people working across the country to strengthen American manufacturing.
