REFLECTION QUESTION
Community Support Businesses Owned by People of Color

Keen Independent Research Foundation conducted a recent study that highlights the disparities in the availability of city contracts and loans to businesses, and how this disparity correlates to owners as people of color. The study showed that Minority businesses enterprises (MBEs) are more likely to have difficulties in receiving loans or city contracts. In what ways can you address systemic racism?

I'm working on disassembling racism by first learning. My resolution for 2018 was to only choose books written by POC. This has been marvelous! I also took a class about Oregon's history of white supremecy, and met many other people with a similar goal. I listened to the podcast Seeing White. I serve on boards where I have worked to add diversity, and had success. These are small steps. I will also vote and signal boost.

Hey Middle Aged Hippies - if we are going to gather the points to beat the U40 crew, we have to be wise to the point system, not just adding the new activity. EASY IDEA: Post to our team feed for 5 points/ day. So... How is your lovely Wednesday? Are you thinking about MLB in PDX? :) I shared about it at dinner last night. I really hope this is the moment. We really enjoy Giants games when we go to SF, even though we are part of the crowd that only watch a portion of the game.
