The 2026 FIFA World Cup is coming to host cities across the United States, bringing millions of fans, enormous economic opportunity, and — for many business owners — real questions about how to protect the workers, customers, and neighbors who make their businesses run. With the Administration actively deploying Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in host cities this summer during the World Cup, business leaders are looking for practical ways to prepare, and good hospitality is also good for business.
Over 100 Businesses and Organizations Call on Congress to Authorize EPA’s Safer Choice Program
Hours after U.S. Senators Chris Coons (D-Del.) and Jon Husted (R-Ohio) introduced the Safer Choice Program Authorization Act (SCPAA) to formally authorize and strengthen the Environmental Protection Agency’s voluntary Safer Choice Program, the American Sustainable Business Network (ASBN) announced that over 100 businesses, trade associations, investors, and public health organizations have signed a letter to Congress urging bipartisan legislation to authorize and fund the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Safer Choice Program. Led by the American Sustainable Business Network, Household & Commercial Products Association, American Cleaning Institute, Change Chemistry, ISSA – the Association for Cleaning and Facility Solutions, Interfaith Center for Corporate Responsibility and Alternative Fuels & Chemicals, signers range from major consumer goods companies to small independent businesses, from hospital purchasing departments to public school districts — a cross-sector consensus that the program delivers real economic and public health value and deserves a durable statutory foundation.
