Your Advocate for Black Business Owners:

Our mission is to provide committed, visionary leadership and advocacy in the realization of economic empowerment for Black business owners across the nation. Amid COVID-19 we are urging Congress to enforce a triage approach to helping small businesses recover from the pandemic. We believe a first come first served approach to stimulus funding is utterly unacceptable. Small businesses deserve more, too often aid funding goes to the fastest and savviest, when in fact, those who are hit the hardest (Black-owned businesses) deserve to be first in line for aid funding.
