DeBerry: This is a great question. We want the uprisings to have a sustained impact. We have to CAPITALize on this moment. I emphasized CAPITAL for a reason. We operate in a capitalist society. The biggest indicator of injustices, crime, unemployment is poverty. Black people own less than 2% of this nation’s wealth. When you don’t own the land in which you walk on, you will always be subjected to someone else’s rules, regulations and laws. Black people must focus on building an economic base before anything else.

Avery: A common theme that has become apparent during the current uprising is the lack of ownership within the Black Community. Without ownership there is no power. Without power there is no independence. In a capitalist society, the Black dollar must be mobilized and strategically positioned to sustain impact.

Pughsley: Understanding how little we as Black people own if we don’t develop a mentality to properly acquire and implement financial principles.

Cage: Without currency circulation in our community we are on total [reliance] of someone’s generosity in helping us build community-wide group economics. I think it’s safe to say that if we are still debating that Black lives matter in 2020, if we want to thrive in 2021 and beyond it is pivotal for us to invest in ourselves.
