Take the 2026 Pro-Business Pledge
Together with ASBN, we are excited to announce our new initiative: Businesses United In Leading Democracy (BUILD). BUILD equips business leaders not only to participate in democracy, but to shape it: translating real economic experience into civic voice, community leadership, and policy influence. Three universal economic conditions comprise its pillars: security, affordability, and opportunity. This framework creates a shared language that transcends partisanship while anchoring civic engagement in economic reality.
We invite you to take the 2026 Pro-Business Pledge and to contact us for more information!

These are high level comments but we have heard directly that it is crucial that there is broad pushback to this initiative from multiple different sectors.
Stop excluding small business owners from Truth in Lending protections!
We’re seeing billions of dollars of financing to small businesses, charging APRs of 50% to 350% or more, without those prices ever being disclosed. New Jersey must protect small businesses by passing a law requiring financing companies to disclose transparent prices to NJ business owners.
Defend State and Tribal Clean Water Authority
The EPA is proposing changes to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act that would strip states and Tribes of their power to veto or impose conditions on federal projects based on environmental impacts. These changes threaten not only environmental health but also the economic resilience of industries that depend on clean, reliable water like farming, food and beverage, tourism, and manufacturing.
