Economic Accountability

Creating a Stronger Economy for All

A thriving economy should provide everyone with the chance to earn, build wealth, and access the resources needed to succeed. Ensuring fair participation in the marketplace allows Black workers, consumers, and business owners to contribute fully and benefit from economic growth.

For many, the so-called American Dream remains out of reach. Decades of discriminatory policies and historic disinvestment have left Black communities facing significant financial barriers. Existing policies do not go far enough to address these challenges.

FACTS:

White families earn 10 times more than Black families, a direct result of systemic discrimination.

Black communities face major disparities in employment, homeownership, and housing affordability.

Closing the revenue gap between Black and white businesses would add $290 billion to the U.S. economy.

The current economic structure prevents Black Americans from fully participating as workers, business owners, and decision-makers. It’s critical to remove these barriers so that Black individuals and businesses have the same opportunities to grow and prosper.
