Kamala Harris: An Agenda for Black Men

Kamala Harris: An Agenda for Black Men

Historianspeaks is reprinting verbatim Vice-President Kamala Harris' Agenda for Black men. This blog should be read in tandem with our blog published earlier today: Black Men and the Vote: Misinformation, Gender and Common Sense (historianspeaks.org)

*Vice President Harris is laying out an agenda to give Black men the tools to build wealth and achieve financial freedom, lower costs for themselves and their families, and protect their rights—addressing the issues that Black men across the country have told her are their top concerns.

  • Provide 1 million forgivable loans up to $20,000 to Black entrepreneurs and others who have a good idea but don’t have the resources, connections, or access to capital to get their business off the ground
  • Launch a National Health Equity Initiative focused on Black men
  • Legalize marijuana at the federal level to break down unjust legal barriers that hold Black men and other Americans back
  • Lower costs by enacting the first-ever federal ban on corporate price-gouging for food and groceries
  • Lower rent and provide down payment assistance to triple the number of new first-time Black homeowners
  • Copied verbatim from kamalaharris.com
