We Spend $1.8 Trillion a Year. Most of It Leaves.
Black Americans have massive spending power. The problem is that money flows out of our communities almost immediately. A dollar circulates in Asian communities for 30 days, in white communities for 20 days. In ours? Six hours. That has to change.
Black Spending Power
We have it. We just don't keep it.
Business Revenue Share
15% of the population, 2% of business revenue.
Dollar Circulation
How long money stays in Black communities.
Wealth Leakage
Of every dollar leaves our communities.
We don't have a spending problem. We have an ownership problem. When we own the businesses, the money stays.
Seven Ways We Build Together
This is more than a membership. It's economic infrastructure designed to keep wealth circulating in our communities for generations.
