Making Change Happen
For the past twelve months, NRF has diligently been pushing for the retail industry's interests on Capitol Hill, focusing on sales tax fairness, job creation, travel visa reform, privacy issues and more. At the center of it all, the Retail Means Jobs campaign has been educating lawmakers, consumers and the general public about the jobs, innovation and consumer value that retail brings to America.
On May 15-16, during NRF's 77th Annual Washington Leadership Conference, NRF and more than 100 retailers stormed Capitol Hill to address critical policy issues with legislators. Retailers challenged law makers on business tax reform, consumer privacy, E-fairness, health care reform, and interchange swipe fees.
