Announcement: The New Resistance Roundtables

Jan 20, 2025

January 20th, 2025

Dear Fellow Business Leaders,

The policies of the Trump administration represent a profound threat to the well-being of our employees, customers, and communities. Under the guise of nationalism and populist rhetoric, we are witnessing an orchestrated effort to normalize predatory behavior, undermine fundamental human rights, and punish businesses that refuse to conform to their ideological demands.

As business leaders, we occupy a unique position within society—one that grants us both influence and responsibility. The critical question before us is whether we will passively accommodate this drift toward authoritarianism or take a principled stand against it.

It is not a coincidence that we are making this announcement on January 20th, 2025; a day of stark historical contrast between Dr. King’s message of liberation and Trump’s cold authoritarianism. 

Today, we are announcing the launch of the New Resistance Roundtables, a series of virtual forums for serious, unfiltered discussion about how we, as business leaders, can resist this administration with moral clarity, intelligence, and solidarity. 

Our conversations will center on:

  • The necessity of taking a public stand in the face of systemic misinformation and coercion.

  • Strategies to leverage business influence in defense of marginalized and vulnerable communities.

  • Practical methods for integrating equity and justice into business operations beyond rhetoric.

  • The role of businesses in resisting and dismantling oppressive structures while fostering alternatives.

The first virtual Roundtable will be held on February 11th at 10 AM Central.

Participation is intentionally limited to facilitate meaningful discourse, but I encourage you to share this opportunity with others who are prepared to engage with these issues thoughtfully and seriously.

We are at a juncture where neutrality is not an option. The choices we make now will reverberate far beyond our individual enterprises, shaping the broader landscape of justice, democracy, and human dignity. The New Resistance Roundtables offer a place to begin.

We look forward to your participation.

 

Daring to be Seen
Hello, friends The word "influencer" has never felt more hollow.  As courts are ignored, rights are rolled back, and power consolidates in the hands of the performative and privileged, the idea of curating a persona for likes and campaigning for clicks feels... laughable. But influence? Real influence? That’s never been more vital - especially if you are an impact leader or conscious entrepren...
How Do You Lead Change When the System Is Collapsing?
An Open Letter to Social Impact Leaders Dear friends, Lately, we’ve been having the same conversation over and over—with nonprofit leaders, social entrepreneurs, founders, and advisors. It starts with a quiet truth: “This doesn’t feel like it used to.” There’s more tension in the room. More uncertainty in planning. More risk in simply saying what your mission has always been about. If you’re l...
The Red Thread
Dear Systems Shakers, There’s a reason our icon is a red thread. Throughout history, the red thread has symbolized fate, connection, and an unbreakable bond—whether it’s the ancient Chinese legend of the Red Thread of Destiny, the Greek myth of Ariadne’s guidance through the labyrinth, the Norse Norns weaving the threads of fate, and the red thread’s deep ties to the divine feminine as a symbo...
