A recent executive order to dismantle the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) is another policy change in America鈥檚 long history of systematically suppressing minority economic advancement. This decision, which threatens to unravel decades of progress in fostering minority entrepreneurship, demands immediate attention and action.

Since its inception, the MBDA has been a lifeline for America鈥檚 12 million minority-owned businesses, facilitating access to over $1.5 billion in capital in 2024 alone. Its dissolution represents the loss of a government agency and the destruction of a crucial bridge to economic opportunity for countless entrepreneurs from marginalized communities.
