Core Issues

  • CARE ECONOMY

    Create a level playing field for small businesses and their employees by supporting federal programs for paid family and medical leave as well as child care

  • TAX FAIRNESS

    Both an equitable tax code, and also to ensure we have the revenue needed for robust public investments

  • CAPITAL ACCESS

    Create new and improve existing capital access options for small business owners, especially those systematically left out of traditional options, including BIPOC and women business owners

  • ANTI-MONOPOLY

    Tackle corporate concentration of power in the market and politics, which is detrimental to the growth and development of small businesses

  • HEALTH CARE

    We need a universal health care system built on care, not profit.

Why we fight

Small business owners represent the diverse fabric of our country. By connecting leadership development, organizing at scale, and a data-driven narrative shift, Main Street Alliance is engaging small business owners to achieve a level of impact locally, statewide, and nationally. We’re strengthening the small business sector to create an equitable and vibrant economy for all.
