Driving Force Action is fighting to stop the EPA and states from meddling with our cars and we want you to join us.
Driving Force Action (DFA) has called on the United Steelworkers (USW) to rescind its endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris due to her campaign’s receipt of $50,000 from Stella Ke Li, a top executive at Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer BYD. This donation aligns the Harris campaign with a company that not only holds direct links to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) but also poses a national security risk, according to U.S. authorities. The organization emphasizes that BYD’s competitive presence in the U.S. market could threaten American manufacturing jobs—particularly those traditionally supported by the USW.
DFA recently urged Harris to return the donation from BYD, arguing that by accepting contributions from a CCP-linked company, Harris undercuts her previous support for strengthening American manufacturing. DFA highlighted BYD’s documented CCP affiliations and government-supported involvement in military-adjacent technology, questioning how such connections align with American economic interests.
Kamala Harris and her running mate support policies threatening Michigan’s automotive industry and car culture. Driving Force Action’s latest ad features Lennon, Michigan, small business owner Greg Henderson of Unofficial Use Only. Greg’s small business is one of the thousands of locally owned businesses at risk from Harris-supported electric vehicle mandates.
Harris-supported EV mandates put thousands of jobs at risk. The specialty-equipment aftermarket parts industry supports over 116,000 Michigan jobs and contributes $34 billion to the state’s economy. The potential loss of these jobs is a stark reminder of the human cost of EV mandates.
The Biden-Harris EV policies may be supported by affluent donors in elite locales like Napa Valley, Aspen, or Martha’s Vineyard, but they will devastate working families and the specialty equipment industry nationwide—a sector contributing $336 billion to the economy and employing over 1 million Americans.

Help us let our elected officials know that car owners of all stripes overwhelmingly oppose the ICE ban by joining the Driving Force Action Team
Sixteen states have adopted California’s stringent emission policies to phase out ICE vehicles within the next decade, and the federal government proposes that two-thirds of new cars and a quarter of new trucks be electric by 2032. We believe true innovation arises from preserving consumer choice and fostering creativity, not from imposing bans on ICE vehicles. The resistance began in Virginia, where Governor Glenn Youngkin just said no to a government-knows-best ban on gas powered cars, and now we are expanding our efforts nationwide, educating voters across the country about what President Biden’s gas car ban will mean for consumers.
While Driving Force Action supports the development of electric vehicles (EVs), we advocate for a balanced approach that includes various fuel innovations to protect the right to drive and modify cars without undue government interference. Our coalition celebrates the integral role of cars in American culture, emphasizing the need for policies that value both environmental progress and automotive passion. We stand for progress driven by choice and creativity, aiming to shape a future where innovation and the spirit of the open road coexist. By joining Driving Force Action, supporters become part of a movement dedicated to defending the freedom to drive and celebrating the art and culture of the American car.

Kamala Harris says she supports American workers, but news reports show her campaign accepted $50,000 from a top executive at a Chinese company tied to the Communist Party.
She’s pushing policies that benefit foreign companies like BYD, not American jobs.

Sign our petition demanding that Kamala Harris return the Chinese communist-linked campaign contributions! News sources yesterday reported that the Harris campaign accepted $50,000 in contributions from (Stella) Ke Li, a Chinese national and senior executive at BYD, a Chinese EV company with close ties to the Chinese Communists Party (CCP) and a company that threatens U.S. national security and American jobs.
Today, Driving Force Action calls on Kamala Harris to return the campaign contributions from Ms. Li. Actions speak louder than words. The American people need to know if Kamala Harris prioritizes American jobs and national security above her political ambition.

In a world of rapidly shifting government regulations and silly efforts to ban the internal combustion engine (“ICE bans”), the thrill of the open road is at stake. What started with 16 states adopting California’s emissions policies to ban the internal combustion engine has escalated to a national campaign.
Federal and state governments are now proposing a radical shift towards electric vehicles, sidelining internal combustion engines. We believe that innovation thrives when choice is preserved. Progress doesn’t come from prohibition; it’s fueled by exploration and creativity.
We started our resistance in Virginia, where Governor Glen Youngkin promised to reverse the ridiculous law that would phase out gas vehicles by 2035. And, in June, he delivered! Now we are expanding our nationwide alliance of car enthusiasts, gearheads, and small automotive businesses fighting to defend our freedom to ride by educating voters across the country about what President Biden’s gas car ban will mean for consumers.
Driving Force Action is more than a movement – it’s a celebration of the car’s role in our culture. It’s the rush of wind, the gleam of chrome, and the thrill of discovery that connects us. For over a century, the American car has inspired countless hearts, and our aim is to ensure that legacy lives on.
Our commitment goes beyond the past; it’s about forging a balanced future. We understand the significance of safeguarding automotive industry jobs and supporting those who rely on their vehicles for their livelihoods. Our advocacy encompasses diverse fuel innovations, including electric vehicles, hydrogen, and alternative fuels.
Driving Force Action stands for progress driven by choice, for a symphony of engines that inspire generations, and for the freedom to revel in the art of driving. Together we can protect our right to drive, and shape a future where innovation and the spirit of the open road coexist. Welcome to Driving Force Action – where tradition meets the road ahead.
Driving Force Action is a project of the Specialty Equipment Market Association
