American business leaders understand that a healthy economy relies on stability. A stable and growing economy requires that the basics of democracy are reliable, functioning, trusted, and governed with the rule of law. That democracy is under stress, and America’s business sector has a duty to take action.

‍

On January 9th, join a candid and private discussion with businesses already engaged in taking practical actions to support our democratic institutions. Entrepreneurship and a strong, free market economy are dependent on a healthy democratic system. However, distrust in election outcomes, escalating political polarization, and growing acceptance of authoritarianism demonstrate an erosion in political stability. That translates into a less reliable and favorable economic climate within which to do business.

What can companies and business leaders do to reverse this trend? In this webinar, leaders from Cummins, REI Co-Op, and Demme Learning will share practical strategies, advice, and examples on how businesses and their leaders can play a role in strengthening our democracy. You will hear how to:

• Deepen employee civic and voter engagement

• Advance pro-democracy policies in Congress and state capitals

• Adopt a set of principles to guide company decisions and actions

• Respond to political backlash or accusations of “woke-ism”

• Become a credible and influential messenger in support of a less polarized and more democratic system.

American business needs American democracy, and the democracy movement needs your support.
