Business Briefing on Federal Deployments: Know Your Rights And Options

Charlotte, Portland, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Memphis, Chicago….

Is Your Community Next?

In case you missed our announcement in the last events mailing, I’d like to invite you to join us on December 11th, 2025, at 12 PM EST, for a live, virtual briefing co-hosted by American Sustainable Business Network, The West Philadelphia Corridor Collaborative, Horizons Projects, National Security Leaders for America, Secure Growth Initiative, and the South Carolina Small Business Chamber of Commerce, to help business leaders understand the economic and rule of law implications of National Guard deployment and Border Control & ICE actions in their communities. Such activities have a negative impact on a city’s economic vitality and residents’ sense of security. The Posse Comitatus Act generally prohibits the military from engaging in civilian law enforcement, with few exceptions.

This briefing will provide non-partisan facts and offer insights into how businesses can respond. Speakers include former military leaders experienced in civil-military affairs, business leaders and attorneys.

What you’ll learn:
* The legal authorities under which National Guard troops can be deployed.
* What business leaders can expect during a deployment.
* Economic impacts on businesses of militarizing our cities and communities.
* Legal options for businesses to respond to ICE actions, including how to protect your workforce.
* Status of federal and state lawsuits challenging Guard deployments and ICE activities.

Speakers:
* Steven Dyme, CEO, Flowers for Dreams (Chicago)
* Christopher Purdy, President, Chamberlain Network, former Army National Guard
* Daniel Schwartz, Advisor, National Security Leaders for America, Senior Counsel, BCLP LLP and former general counsel at the National Security Agency
* Jonathan Grode, Managing Partner, Immigration, Green & Spiegel LLP

In Solidarity,
