We advocate for Black employer firms that can hire more Blacks especially after the pandemic. We are building the enabling infrastructure for Black Businesses to survive and thrive post COVID. We make this happen through our 3 pillars: foundation built in data, fearlessly confronting major issues, and bringing solutions for the issues. Our foundation is built upon the data we receive. The sources include surveys of our businesses to learn the challenges they face for growth. We study CEDs, participation reports, and other forms of aggregate data. We address the documented challenges create by COVID. We take on challenging issues which have helped to suppress and oppress Black businesses in this region. We feel if these issues are not addressed, we will never be able to live out our mission. We bring together dedicated people and experts for issues to create and implement solutions for major challenges for Black business in this region. We support our member organizations in the funding and implementation of these solutions.
