Supply Chain Fragility: How To Rebuild A Resilient System

Join the American Economic Liberties Project, Groundwork Collaborative, and The American Prospect to hear about how the policy choices we made over the last 50 years left us with a brittle and broken supply chain that has resulted in small businesses falling through the cracks. Learn what policymakers like Senator Tammy Baldwin are doing to build a resilient supply chain, and hear from independent business leaders and supply chain experts about the challenges facing small businesses up and down our supply chain. 

Speakers include: 

• Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation
• Mike Beckham, CEO of Simple Modern
• Todd Spencer, President of Owner-Operated Independent Drivers Association
• Charmaine Chua, Assistant Professor at UC Santa Barbara
• Matt Jinoo Buck, Senior Fellow at the American Economic Liberties Project

• Rakeen Mabud, Chief Economist and Managing Director of Policy and Research at the Groundwork Collaborative

• David Dayen, Executive Editor of The American Prospect

• Sarah Miller, Executive Director of the American Economic Liberties Project

2:00 pm - 3:30 PM ET

American Economic Liberties Project

The American Economic Liberties Project works to ensure America’s system of commerce is structured to advance, rather than undermine, economic liberty, fair commerce, and a secure, inclusive democracy. Economic Liberties believes true economic liberty means entrepreneurs and businesses large and small succeed on the merits of their ideas and hard work; commerce empowers consumers, workers, farmers, and engineers instead of subjecting them to discrimination and abuse from financiers and monopolists; foreign trade arrangements support domestic security and democracy; and wealth is broadly distributed to support equitable political power.

Groundwork Collaborative
The Groundwork Collaborative’s mission is to advance an economic vision for strong, broadly shared prosperity and true opportunity for all. Visit our website and follow us on Twitter @Groundwork.

The American Prospect

The American Prospect is devoted to promoting informed discussion on public policy from a progressive perspective. In print and online, the Prospect brings a narrative, journalistic approach to complex issues, addressing the policy alternatives and the politics necessary to create good legislation. We help to dispel myths, challenge conventional wisdom, and expand the dialogue.
