DEI’s Retreat: Gutting Black Entrepreneurs and Our Economic Power
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.
