I’ve long said in order for there to be a strong America, there must be a strong Black America. In order for there to be a strong Black America, we need strong Black businesses.

In order to have strong Black businesses, we need strong Black Chambers of Commerce that are committed to growing and supporting Black enterprises. I encourage every Black American, Black business leader, and advocate across the board to work hand-in-hand with USBC to ensure that policymakers on both sides of the aisle know and understand the principles we’ve outlined.
