INCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES

In the aftermath of COVID, the uprising, insurrections, mass shootings, and economic instability – things feel dark. Many small business owners are faced with various forms of uncertainty for themselves, their employees, and their businesses. We at Main Street Alliance remain committed to organizing and building power for a more just economy and working towards a more inclusive society.

Justice, equity, and sustainability are central to our theory of change for the small business communities we serve. Main Street Alliance is committed to building a small business organization that represents the social fabric of the communities we serve, specifically, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and those living in rural communities. MSA leads with values rooted in equity and inclusion, focusing on underrepresented people. We live out these values externally and internally across our community organizing, policy strategy, staff recruitment, and retention..

The Hate Has No Business Here campaign sends a clear message: there is no place for hate in our businesses, our homes, or in our country
