Advocacy
Our Advocacy page is where The Steady State’s coalition of veteran national security, intelligence, and diplomatic professionals translates expert analysis into direct action. Here, we highlight our ongoing efforts to safeguard American democracy and the U.S. Constitution from authoritarian threats and institutional politicization. Through public campaigns, strategic endorsements, policy recommendations, and direct engagement with lawmakers and the media, we leverage our collective decades of national security experience to promote accountability, protect democratic norms, and mobilize support for preserving the rule of law.
Strategic Business Risk Assessment: Growing Authoritarianism and American Business
We assess with high confidence that accelerating authoritarian dynamics in the United States are already generating direct and growing risks to American businesses, both abroad and at home. This risk environment is defined less by episodic shocks than by a structural shift away from rules-based governance toward personalized, discretionary power, in which proximity to political authority increasingly shapes commercial outcomes.
