In the aftermath of the killing of two American citizens in Minneapolis and amid heightened resistance to federal immigration enforcement actions, many organizations are facing pressure to respond — publicly, internally, or both.

Mike Raia, founder and president of Half Street Group, joins the show to offer guidance on how organizations can navigate moments of crisis and political sensitivity, including:

  • When speaking out helps — and when it backfires
  • The risks of silence versus poorly timed statements
  • How values, stakeholders, and long-term credibility should shape response strategies
