FOR US, BY US: A MESSAGE FOR AMERICAN INDUSTRY AND LABOR ======================================================== Published: March 14, 2025 Author: Daniel Conderman Context: Recovered Conderman.Group campaign and slogan proposal Original URL: https://conderman.group/2025/03/for-us-by-us-a-unified-message-for-american-industry-and-labor/ In an era where global supply chains dominate and American manufacturing and labor are often undervalued, we propose a unifying slogan that speaks to both industry and workers: "For US, By US." This slogan is more than a phrase -- it is a movement. It represents a commitment to American-made goods, the labor force that builds them, and the national strength that comes from supporting our own economy. This message is offered copyright-free to any organization, business, or labor movement that believes in prioritizing American industry, job creation, and economic resilience. THE POWER OF "FOR US, BY US" ---------------------------- The phrase holds two ideas: * For us -- for all of us, the American people, benefiting every worker, family, and community. * For U.S. -- the United States, emphasizing national pride, economic strength, and the importance of self-sufficiency. This dual meaning connects businesses, labor organizations, and consumers, making it a rallying cry for campaigns supporting domestic industry. STRATEGIC USES -------------- 1. Manufacturing and production Put "For US, By US" on American-made products, labels, packaging, promotional materials, factory banners, and signs celebrating employees' contributions to domestic manufacturing. 2. Labor and worker advocacy Unions can adopt the phrase in campaigns, rallies, events, hashtags, and support for policies advocating fair wages, benefits, and job security. 3. Consumer engagement and retail Stores can use it for American-made displays; customers can use #ForUSByUS; online sellers can feature it in product descriptions and promotional banners. 4. Corporate and government partnerships The phrase could accompany Buy American initiatives, corporate statements supporting American jobs, and chambers of commerce or trade organizations focused on domestic growth. RELATED SLOGANS --------------- * American Made, American Paid. * Work Here, Buy Here, Grow Here. * Build It Here, Keep It Here. * Strength in American Hands. * Proudly Made for US. AN OPEN INVITATION ------------------ We are not seeking ownership or financial gain from this slogan. We offer it freely to any organization, business, or labor movement that sees value in promoting a stronger, self-sufficient America. Our only request: if you use the slogan, amplify the message. Spread it, adapt it, and make it your own in the way that best supports your mission. Together, we can create a movement that empowers American workers, strengthens our economy, and ensures a prosperous future -- For US, By US.
