The signing of the CHIPS & Science Act today is a culmination of a long journey for TCF, where we have been calling for federal action to reinvest in US manufacturing since 2017.
It started with a listening tour throughout the #manufacturing #heartland in 2017, where @TCFdotorg and allies like the @AFLCIO, @SVACommunity, and @Umfgalliance heard diverse voices calling for Washington to help them reignite #HighWageAmerica
.@TCFdotorg was pleasantly surprised when then former Vice President @POTUS Joe Biden agreed to join us and our allies at an event in the fall of 2018 at the Naval Museum presenting our $2 billion call to action
.@TCFdotorg went to work w/ allies like @SenSchumer & @SenGillibrand to turn these ideas into actionable elements, including first ever DOD funding for manufacturing economic development & a new coalition American Manufacturing Communities Collaborative tcf.org/content/report…
These ideas took bigger, bipartisan, form, first with the introduction of the Endless Frontier Act in May 2020 congress.gov/bill/116th-con…

.@TCFdotorg worked closely with an ever widening circle of allies like @MfgRenChicago to put forward a vision for inclusive and sustainable manufacturing, starting with a standalone bill HR5124 by @janschakowsky congress.gov/bill/117th-con…
These ideas, and much more, were incorporated into the America COMPETES Act through the leadership of @RepBowman and @RepEBJ tcf.org/content/commen…
The final product was today’s CHIPS for America Act, echoing the @TCFdotorg vision of high road #manufacturing redevelopment–spurring innovation, reinvesting in worker, retaining & reshoring jobs and mobilizing capital. We are thrilled today to celebrate this achievement.
