🚨 NEWS ALERT: HOUSTON’S BLACK BUSINESSES COULD FEEL THE IMPACT 🚨 A federal judge has struck down the race-based portion of Houston’s Minority, Women and Small Business Enterprise (MWSBE) program, a decision that could make it harder for some Black-owned businesses to compete for public contracts. Why does this matter? 💼 Fewer opportunities for government contracts 💰 Potentially less business revenue 👷🏾 Fewer opportunities to create jobs 🏢 Greater challenges for Black entrepreneurs trying to scale 💵 Potential consequences for Black wealth building This case is part of a larger national legal battle over race-conscious contracting and affirmative-action programs. The question Black Houston needs to ask is: If race-conscious programs are eliminated, what concrete policies will replace them to make sure Black-owned businesses aren’t pushed further to the sidelines? This isn’t just about contracts. It’s about opportunity. It’s about economic power. It’s about who gets to build wealth. ✊🏾 Support Black businesses. Build Black businesses.
