The Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA) is lobbying organization based in Washington, DC representing manufacturing companies that want the United States government to do more to protect them from foreign competition. [1] As of November 2024, its CEO was Michael Stumo. [2]

The COA has supported US import taxes for the purpose of supporting the US manufacturing industry.
