Dear John,

When fundamental rights are violated, the trust required for commerce evaporates. Workers fear showing up. Customers stay home. Investment stops.

We were approached by Minnesota business leaders to help spread the word about the devastating effects of the federal occupation on local businesses in their city. We've heard that on any given day, between 50-80% of businesses stay closed. What's happened in Minnesota could happen anywhere.

We're building national momentum – and we need your help in the next 48 hours.

The American Sustainable Business Network has issued a Joint Statement alongside 32 founding organizations and 200+ businesses calling on Congress to restore due process, end unconstitutional federal actions, and uphold the rule of law that our economy depends on.

On February 12th, we will deliver this statement to Congress – and our goal is 300 signatures. We're close, but we need the business community to show up now.

Then, help us reach 300 by COB tomorrow:

We've built a free sharing toolkit with everything you need to spread the word today and tomorrow – ready-to-use social media posts, email templates, and newsletter copy. The more voices we gather by Wednesday, the stronger our message to Congress.

• Share now: Download our sharing toolkit and post, email, or add to your newsletter today
• Contact Congress: Email or call your representatives to demand accountability
• Recruit: Forward this to every business leader in your network – every signature counts

This is not partisan. This is fundamental. Businesses cannot thrive when constitutional protections collapse.

After February 12th, we'll continue accepting signatures and will send updated lists to Congress with each wave of 150+ new sign-ons. But the first delivery is Feb 12th – make sure your businesses name is on it.

In solidarity,
