A national advocacy group has launched a multimillion-dollar billboard campaign criticizing President Donald Trump’s economic policies, with at least eight signs now appearing along major highways in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
The campaign, organized by the progressive political organization Home of the Brave, is part of a nationwide $2.5 million advertising effort called “Sticker Shock Summer.” According to the group, hundreds of billboards are being installed in dozens of states, including locations along Interstate 81, Route 11 and Route 309 in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
The signs argue that rising energy costs are tied to policies enacted during Trump’s second term.
In announcing the campaign, Home of the Brave said Americans are facing higher electricity and energy bills during a summer marked by extreme heat, and blamed the increases on the administration’s tariffs, immigration policies and military action involving Iran.
“Millions of Americans are now living through a historic heat wave,” the organization said in a statement. “Temperatures are up, and so are your energy bills.”
In addition to the Pennsylvania billboards, the campaign includes large-format advertisements in New York City’s Times Square and Orlando, Florida, targeting summer travelers.
The group says the goal is to connect rising household costs with federal policy decisions and encourage voters to hold elected officials accountable.
The Trump administration has defended its economic agenda, arguing that tariffs protect American manufacturing, stricter immigration enforcement benefits U.S. workers and its broader policies strengthen the nation’s economy. The White House has also disputed claims that those policies are primarily responsible for recent increases in energy prices, pointing to global oil markets, seasonal demand and other economic factors that influence fuel and utility costs.
The Home of the Brave campaign is expected to remain in place throughout the summer.
