SENS. CORY BOOKER AND STEVE DAINES CREATE $50B BIPARTISAN COVID-19 RELIEF PROPOSAL FOR BLACK BUSINESS
Black-owned and minority businesses have suffered greatly recently with many having to permanently close their doors as a result of the COVID-19, or the novel coronavirus, pandemic. Due to economic impact, it’s been reported that nearly 40% of businesses will not be able to survive the public health crisis.
Now Sens. Cory Booker (D- NJ) and Steve Daines (R-MT) are coming together for a new bipartisan proposal that would provide $50 billion in federal aid to Black businesses in cities and rural communities with the support of local mayors all over the country.
