The Global Black Economic Forum released a new report setting the record straight: Far from benefiting from “special treatment,” minority-owned businesses are being systematically shut out of federal contracting opportunities.
The data shows that minority-owned firms, a vital part of the business community, receive less than 10% of federal contract dollars.
With recent political rollbacks, this disparity is set to worsen.
We will continue the fight to secure fair access and opportunity to unlock the potential of diverse entrepreneurs and bring us closer to an equitable future.
The full report is available for download at gbef.com/foundation.

“Where were you?”
We should all be in the fight for freedom and opportunity alongside Sen. Booker (@CoryBooker).
Let’s remember: silence will not protect you.

Attempting to dismantle a congressionally mandated entity that provides resources, services, and, most importantly, access to education for young people nationwide is unconscionable and must be challenged to the fullest extent of the law.

Having trouble navigating tough conversations in your workplace? Please use these questions as a starting point and key resource.
Struggling to engage with people who reject diversity, equity, and inclusion? Challenge them to get real about what they actually mean. Ask any of these five questions and watch how quickly the conversation shifts—are they against fairness, equal opportunity, or just uncomfortable with progress? These questions cut through the rhetoric, exposing whether their opposition is truly about merit or simply a resistance to change.
