[link removed] You've always known what
Fortune 500 CEOs have just figured out: Profits aren't all that
matters. Now let's tell lawmakers what else good businesses want.
Register NOW for the ASBC
Sustainable Business & Advocacy Summit:
"Making Capitalism Work for All" - Dec. 10-11, 2019 in D.C.
Hi John,

The Business Roundtable - CEOs at nearly 200 of the biggest
corporations - recently voiced what ASBC members have known all along:
To focus only on maximizing profits for shareholders is shortsighted and
wrong.

Along with the usual vow to meet or exceed customer expectations, the BR
statement promises fair compensation and "important" benefits for
employees, diversity and inclusion, dealing ethically with suppliers,
respecting and supporting communities, and "embracing" sustainable
practices to protect the environment.

These CEOs are reacting to Americans' growing concern about our
economic system and the politics that govern it. We hope their statement
is not just public relations, but meanwhile,

**let's not wait for them to change how America works.**

Convene with like-minded leaders at the ASBC Summit
, and promote reforms to

**make our economy work better for people, the planet, and responsible
businesses like yours.** In just two days, you can:

* Understand why our market-based economy now offers a far lower chance
at social mobility for hardworking poor and middle-class Americans -
and explore how we can restore and expand its promise of opportunity.

* Hear from provocative speakers like
: Former Deputy Secretary of
Labor Chris Lu; Former SEIU President Andy Stern; Economic Policy
Institute President Thea Lee, past member of the U.S.-China Economic &
Security Review Commission; Evan McMullen, Independent presidential
candidate in 2016 and former chief policy director for the House
Republican Conference; Bipartisan Policy Center Fellow Adrienne Schweer,
past chief of protocol at the U.S. Dept. of Defense; Jon Cardinal,
Economic Development Director, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillbrand's
office; Tax reform advocate and NRS President Bill Parks; Green New Deal
architect/New Consensus Executive Director Demond Drummer; and Nancy
Jacobson, founder of the bipartisan group No Labels.

* Network with other values-based business leaders and learn how
policymakers at all levels are working on climate change, income
inequality, deteriorating infrastructure, etc.

* Meet in person with members of Congress in both parties and tell them
why you support policy changes for a vibrant, just and sustainable
economy.

American Sustainable Business Council leads policy change on behalf of
250,000 companies including major brands. Join us in D.C. in Dec
