The Leadership Now Project is a nonprofit membership group for business leaders who seek to "protect and renew American democracy."[1] For 2023-2024, the group stated that its goals were to educate business professionals about democracy, reform elections, and, as a 501Ic)4 organization, support "moderate candidates" in U.S. elections.[2] In July 2024, LNP reportedly had 400 business leaders in its coalition.[3]
The Leadership Now Project was founded in 2017 by Daniella Ballou-Aares as President, Vicky Hausman (now with Forward Majority) as Treasurer, and Katherine Cousins as Secretary.[4] In 2018, its revenues were $445,000 and by 2021 its revenues were $2.4 million.[5][6]
Prior to the 2020 election, the Project arranged for more than 50 business leaders to issue a statement about election integrity.[7]
In 2024, LNP submitted an amicus brief to oppose immunity from prosecution for President Donald Trump.[8][9] It also supported an anti-gerrymandering ballot initiative in Ohio.[10]
In June 2024, LNP issued a pledge, signed by business leaders, that it asked to be signed by presidential candidates. The six commitments of the pledge include the "peaceful transition of power, in victory or defeat."[11][12] The Project subsequently asked President Biden to step aside and not run for re-election,[3] with a private letter from 168 business professionals.[13]
