Announcement: May 12 Virtual Session on Anti-Corporate Activism in the Shadow of Trumpism

Anti-Corporate Activism in the Shadow of Trumpism


The Trump administration’s rapid moves on immigration, climate change, DEI, international development, and other issues have provoked a range of responses by corporations. Many corporations have abandoned previous commitments to curry favor with the Administration. Some firms—from Target to Tesla—have faced backlashes and boycotts from activists and consumers, pushing them to rethink their strategies. What forms are these new struggles over corporate power taking? What are their likely consequences?  In this webinar, organized by the Corporate Accountability Network, experts on business and activism will shed light on how companies and social movements are responding to these unprecedented times.


Monday, May 12, 12 pm – 1 pm Eastern time
