Twenty states and DC have sued the USDA. Black and Indigenous farmers are fighting in court to defend what's left of the $4 billion in debt relief that was promised and then canceled. The 5th Circuit let Black farmers intervene meaning they had to go fight for a seat at a legal table just to protect something they were already owed.

Black entrepreneurs are doing what we always do innovating, organizing, and surviving. From Oakland to Atlanta to Detroit, we’re building our own ecosystems. Local chambers, co-ops, buy-Black marketplaces, mutual aid funds we’re creating infrastructure they can’t touch. And we’re using our voices, too. Calling out the lies. Demanding policy change. Crowdfunding capital. Funding each other. We know that waiting for help won’t save us but collective power just might.
