The Entrepreneurial Saving Cities is a movement of people of good will dedicated to proving that the free enterprise system works for all Americans.
WE BELIEVE: We strongly advocate for the principle of Equal Opportunity for every individual. We firmly believe that when the Black community is fully engaged in the economy, commensurate with their talents, it will lead to widespread prosperity across the nation.
WE EXIST TO: Create modern versions of thriving Black economic hubs, akin to the historic Black Wall Streets. We aim to achieve this by mobilizing individuals of good will who are committed to demonstrating that the free enterprise system can yield success for anyone willing to excel in an area where they possess world-class potential, given the opportunity.
