In an inclusive economy, economic growth leads to shared prosperity that allows every resident economic security, resources to build wealth, and opportunity to live to their fullest.

District leaders can ensure every resident is able to share in the city’s prosperity by addressing the deeply rooted, systemic challenges faced by Black people in its economic policies.
