Stabilizing Latino entrepreneurs amid federal policy volatility | Brookings This report traces how policy volatility erodes stability, how geography shapes exposure to these shocks, and what states, cities, philanthropy, and the private sector can do to respond.

#Latinx #entrepreneurs, #businesses were growing. Yet this growth is being reversed by bad #policy.
For me, as a #White #American this is all out of sight, out of mind. What is the distinctive role for White Americans to advance #racial #equality in #America #2025?

Thx, #NoKings. Next? People will stay committed to a #social #movement because of the collective experience, building #agency, effectively exercising #power as part of a collective. In #democracy (best form), "organized people counterbalancing organized money."

Texas Republicans are forcing a vote on their rigged election maps.

If they knew they could win the election — they wouldn’t be stealing 5 congressional seats.

This is a blatant, racist power grab.

Shared #values - nice... But there's work. A 'founder's stance" is the "courage to reimagine what's possible and to do the hard work of rebuilding a nation for ALL." This can only be realized by acting in our sphere of influence every day for the #change we need. www.policylink.org/resources/pu...
