I’m in. We must lean into our collective power if we want to protect our freedoms. Visit stateoftheppl.com to learn more.

The Global Black Economic Forum released a new report setting the record straight: Far from benefiting from “special treatment,” minority-owned businesses are being systematically shut out of federal contracting opportunities. The data shows that minority-owned firms, a vital part of the business community, receive less than 10% of federal contract dollars. With recent political rollbacks, this disparity is set to worsen. We will continue the fight to secure fair access and opportunity to unlock the potential of diverse entrepreneurs and bring us closer to an equitable future.

“Where were you?” We should all be in the fight for freedom and opportunity alongside Sen. Booker (@CoryBooker). Let’s remember: silence will not protect you.

Attempting to dismantle a congressionally mandated entity that provides resources, services, and, most importantly, access to education for young people nationwide is unconscionable and must be challenged to the fullest extent of the law. apnews.com/article/trump-…

Education has always been a pathway to economic mobility and an undeniable tool in bridging gaps in opportunity for historically marginalized communities.

She knew that true freedom required financial equity and spent decades fighting for policies and programs that uplifted marginalized voices. Her legacy of action and impact will continue to guide the path forward. Rest in power.

Dr. Hazel Dukes was a relentless force for economic justice and civil rights, ensuring Black communities had access to opportunities, resources, and the power to shape our own futures. 📸Isseu Diouf Campbell
