Date: Thursday, May 2nd

Time: 12pm to 1:30pm ET

Dr. Michael Faulkender will describe the economic policies the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) believes would create widely shared prosperity by restoring and preserving the American free enterprise system. Policies that end rampant inflation, protect American workers and consumers from unfair trade practices, and incentivize investments in US production would lift communities across the country and restore the American economy to greatness.
