Any #smallbiz owner knows in order to grow your business, you need capital. The Fed’s Small Business Credit Survey helps bridge that gap. If you are a small business owner or know someone who is, we invite you to share your experiences with credit access. bit.ly/4dMgGVm

Change can bring progress, but people get left behind, too. “It’s our responsibility to invest in workers whose livelihoods are uprooted,” @RachelKorberg of @FamiliesWorkers tells #WorkingNationOverheard at #JFFHorizons. How?... youtu.be/mLT1YoKbcU8 @jfftweets @EnGen_Impact

“I actually think people who truly love are truly dangerous. When you can have a real real commitment to any larger principle or larger group of people, what wouldn’t you do.? When you love, you actually have a lot to lose.” Ta-nehisi Coates #JFFHorizons
