Crisis, Consequence, and Response to MN: Inside Communications Presented by Half Street Group

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
