The **Black Consumer Advisory** informs and cautions Black consumers about the ongoing and intentional rollback of nationwide diversity, equity, and inclusion commitments.
We encourage you to **spend your money where you're respected, support Black-owned businesses, and demand businesses prioritize people over profit.** Above all, we must **continue to advocate** for policies that ensure people of color, women, veterans, those with a disability, and all protected groups have equal access to opportunities across the country.

### [Protecting Our Right to Vote](/volunteer)
States have introduced hundreds of measures to restrict the right to vote. Our democracy must meet these challenges by adopting reforms that promote safe and accessible elections. Volunteer to protect our right to vote.
### [Prioritize Reproductive Justice and Health](/campaigns/our-2025)
Efforts must be made to dismantle barriers to reproductive health services, which disproportionately affect women of color, ensuring equitable health outcomes for all.
### [Implement a Federal Minimum Wage](/campaigns/our-2025)
The minimum wage for all federal contractor staff should also be increased to $20.00/hour immediately, without a phase-in period, ensuring that no federal contract workers are left behind.
