Save Handmade Banner Can’t wait to travel to Washington, D.C. for the Summit of Awesome? Well get a sneak peek at our Nation’s capital and visit early to lend your voice at a rally to discuss the unintended consequences of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA).

Join the Handmade Toy Alliance, amongst other associations and non-profit organizations, to urge Congress to fix the CPSIA.

As it stands now, implementation of the CPSIA has been placed on hold for one year, giving small businesses and consumers time to urge amendments to the law.

This rally will bring together a broad spectrum of consumers and small business owners that will be affected by implementation of the CPSIA. The rally will take place April 1 at 10:00 a.m., at the Capitol Visitors Center, Room HVC201 A&B at the U.S. Capitol.
