ASBC fly-ins urge Congressional help for families, farmers and more     

July 20-22, ASBC staff and business members again came together for virtual fly-in meetings with federal lawmakers in D.C. As with our earlier fly-ins and other outreach, we made the business case for policies that would facilitate a just, sustainable, stakeholder economy. With our fly-ins, we create unique opportunities for open communication between policymakers and responsible business leaders who offer a smart, sustainable view of “what business wants.”

During our July fly-in, ASBC explained why U.S. businesses strongly support national paid family and medical leave, the National Infrastructure Bank bill, and the Relief for America’s Small Farmers Act. We also discussed the inclusion of climate conservation core and suggested that the Clean Energy Standard be included in every package. These topics and more were open for discussion.

We encourage all ASBC members to join us during future fly-ins, voice their views to our lawmakers, and become leaders in advancing just, sustainable policies for our economy.

To see the important topics that are being discussed in our working groups that may come into play in our fly-ins read our overviews here.
