Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, unveiled a series of economic proposals aimed at supporting Black men. The initiatives include the introduction of 1 million forgivable loans for Black entrepreneurs, the establishment of educational and apprenticeship programs, and a commitment to legalize recreational marijuana. Harris's plan also emphasizes protecting cryptocurrency assets, highlighting that over 20% of Black Americans have engaged with crypto. The proposals are part of her broader 'Opportunity Agenda for Black Men,' which seeks to address systemic barriers and promote health equity, particularly focusing on conditions like prostate cancer and sickle cell disease. Harris is expected to provide further details about her crypto policies in a speech scheduled for later today in Erie, Pennsylvania.
