The racial wealth gap tilts the playing field against entrepreneurs of color, holding back our economy. The government helped create that wealth gap, and the government has an obligation to address it. I have a new plan to tackle it head on.

On average, Black, Latinx, Native American, and other minority households have significantly less wealth than white households. So they have less to put into their small businesses, and less collateral to get outside credit.

That disparity in startup capital is creating a small business gap that costs us millions of jobs & billions in economic growth. And it's another example of how the racial wealth gap in America hurts Black, Latinx, Native American, and other minority families & communities.
