Businesses can be civically active by fostering a company culture of service, enabling employee volunteering, supporting voting access, and advocating for local policy changes. Key strategies include offering paid time off for voting, hosting, supporting local nonprofits, and engaging with elected officials to address community needs.
To help your business make a difference without taking up too much time, ASBN has created a new resource hub.
Get in on ASBN’s New BUILD Resource Hub!The Businesses United In Leading Democracy (BUILD) Resource Hub is ASBN’s nonpartisan effort to rebuild trust, stability, and opportunity in our communities ahead of the 2026 midterm elections and beyond. At a time of division and dysfunction, this campaign is grounded in a simple belief: the issues that shape our lives and livelihoods transcend partisan politics.
We’ve designed an empowering framework to help all business owners become effective change-makers — leading their communities to identify and champion the leaders we need. It is time to BUILD.
Resources in this open-source library include a Narrative Change “Tell Your Story” exercise, details on key impact areas, candidate questions through a pro-business lens, and a How Midterm Campaigns Work infographic.
