Duke Tanner and Adam Clausen Head to D.C. Pushing for Policy

In a remarkable week of federal engagement and high-stakes visibility, our team is advancing a mission that aligns commercial innovation with critical national needs: reform, reintegration, and scalable economic empowerment.

This Tuesday, Duke Tanner, returned to Washington, D.C., with a clear message: it’s time to deploy our affordable housing initiative alongside our AI-powered rehabilitation and workforce reintegration system. Slated to speak at a White House Juneteenth event, Tanner’s presence was meant to symbolize progress. But the path wasn’t smooth.

In a dramatic turn, Duke was initially denied access to the White House despite being on the schedule. While the rest of the Black Caucus for Trump entered the meeting, he stood outside for over 90 minutes—in a soaked suit under pouring rain—until clearance was finally granted. With just ten minutes left in the session, he walked into the White House. The room stood and gave him the floor. Duke delivered an unfiltered, heartfelt address about his past, our mission with public housing, and what it will mean for Black Americans, while calling for support to deploy our system and help millions of Americans.

The outcome? A standing ovation. And the kind of bipartisan moral momentum that few private sector efforts ever achieve.

Meanwhile, Adam Claussen has been invited to travel to D.C. next week and speak directly with a Director from the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Discussions center around deploying our proprietary AI rehabilitation platform within the federal prison system—a move that could bring transformative support to over 50,000 individuals in its first phase. Federal leaders are listening, and the conversations are serious.

We’re staying the course. And we’ll keep you informed as these historic discussions evolve into national strategy.

Stay tuned. This is just the beginning.
