Join us on December 12th at our Annual Meeting to discuss how we can leverage our power to shape a stronger, more equitable future.

The African American Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey recognizes the immense contributions of Black consumers, whose $1.8 trillion in spending power nationally and $56 billion in New Jersey are key drivers of the U.S. economy. This strength must translate into opportunities and reciprocity.

As President John Harmon states:

“Our consumer spend opens the door for commensurate reciprocity.”

Yet we must also ask ourselves:

“Why do we continue to support companies and organizations that do not support us?”

Prioritize your own well-being. As Paul F. Davis wisely said:

“Go where you are celebrated, not tolerated.” 

After the most recent election, we’ve seen a noticeable shift in online reactions to our mission. Now more than ever, we need your voice and support to ensure diversity, equity, and inclusion remain priorities in New Jersey.

On December 12th, join President Harmon as he shares our 2024 accomplishments and unveils our vision for 2025 under a new administration. Together, we can ensure that our economic impact is matched with opportunities that reflect our contributions.

Now is the time to stand together and ensure that Black consumer power translates into real opportunities for our communities.

This meeting is more than an event—it’s a movement.

Let’s turn our economic power into action.
