Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris unveiled new policy proposals aimed at Black men on Monday. These proposals include forgivable small business loans of up to $20,000 and access to a new legal recreational marijuana industry. Harris' campaign stated that these measures are intended to break down unjust legal barriers and help Black men build wealth and businesses. The plan includes providing 1 million loans to Black entrepreneurs. This initiative is part of Harris' effort to garner support from Black men, a demographic she is actively trying to reach. The legalization of marijuana would be implemented nationally.
