The Future of Work: Black-Owned Businesses and the Digital Divide


The continued fight for social justice and the COVID-19 pandemic has brought us an unparalleled opportunity to focus our efforts on the fundamental values of fairness and equity as we rebuild our economy and workforce for the future. This unprecedented crisis has also demonstrated that economic opportunity and access to affordable, reliable broadband are inextricably tied. The policies necessary to bridge the digital divide must center the most marginalized, including Black-owned businesses and Black workers who have been disproportionately impacted by the economic crisis.

This panel discussion, hosted virtually by FCC Commissioner Geoffrey Starks, will convene leaders from the African American Mayors Association, the Black Economic Alliance, the Institute for Intellectual Property and Social Justice, and U.S. Black Chambers, Inc. The event will be live streamed via WebEx.
