We understand how current conditions in our city, state, and country can have potentially devastating effects on black-owned business. We are leveraging our contacts to gain greater insights into policy and innovative strategies that can be put into place to safeguard black-owned businesses and small businesses alike.

The DBCC is following the guidelines set by the CDC and the Mayor of Dallas by becoming virtual. This allows our staff to remain safe and healthy while we continue to support our community and members.

In these uncertain times, we strongly encourage our members, partners, allies, and the community at-large to intentionally support Black-owned businesses.
