Introducing the Maine Black Business Pledge

Black Owned Maine and Portland Buy Local have teamed up to create a local call to action.

Black Business Pledge to Allocated 10% shelf space to local Black Businesses

Retail shops: Allocate 10% of your shelf space to local, independent Black-business.

Consumers: Allocate 10% of your spending power toward local, independent Black-businesses, nonprofits, and professionals.

Why 10%? This number roughly represents the amount of Black people living in the most populous city in Maine-Portland.

Over the next few weeks we will highlight different Black-owned businesses that you can support this holiday season. Tag #BOMpledge to share your purchases.
