American Sustainable Business Network Urges Leaders to Join Summit : Turn ‘No Kings Day’ Energy Into Policy Action
Join ASBN and over 80 business leaders & speakers at the Business, Policy and Purpose Conference, Oct 21-23, 2025
ASBN summit channels 'No Kings Day' momentum into policy advocacy, welcoming business leaders, investors and citizens committed to strengthening democracy
ASBN's summit, Business, Policy and Purpose: The Business of Democracy (October 21-23), will harness this historic momentum and channel it into concrete action through policy advocacy and democratic engagement.
"Protests are essential to democracy, but protest alone is not enough," said Camilla Taylor, Executive Director of ASBN. "The energy demonstrated in our streets must translate into sustained policy advocacy to create meaningful, lasting change. It's time to work together across party lines for our democracy—and we're ready to lead the work."
A Bipartisan Gathering for Democracy
Over three half-days (Oct 21-23, 12-3:30 PM ET), the virtual conference brings together over 80 speakers and hundreds of business leaders, policymakers, investors, and advocates in a bipartisan effort to strengthen democracy. The conference will provide tools, business networking opportunities, and strategies to turn commitment into action.
Powerhouse Speakers: Rick Steves (Rick Steves' Europe) discusses what 50 years of travel has taught him about responsible business and democracy. Paul Rice (Fair Trade USA), the original rebel in the boardroom, addresses building resilience during adversity. Jamie Ager (North Carolina Congressional candidate, Farmer) shares grassroots perspectives in challenging the status quo. Prominent women leaders include Mindy Lubber (Ceres), Fran Seegull (Impact Investing Alliance), Mia Ketterling (Pinterest), Kate Ogden (Seventh Generation), Skye Perryman (Democracy Forward), and many more.
