More and more business people are coming to realize that the progressive economic agenda -- higher wages, vigorous anti-trust enforcement, closing tax loopholes for the biggest businesses, breaking up the Too-Big-To-Fail banks, and more cops on the beat to keep Wall Street from engaging in financial fraud -- are good for their businesses. We are working with thoughtful and innovative business leaders in the country to build an alliance between them and the progressive movement advocates.
On Friday, October 2nd, American Family Voices convened the “Forging an Alliance Between Progressive Leaders and Socially Conscious Businesses” conference, to advance the agenda described in our video, “Fairness AND Growth: the Progressive Economic Alternative.” Sponsors included Amalgamated Bank, Ethical Electric, AFSCME, American Income Life, Sierra Club, and Leo Hindery.
