America’s Backbone Is Breaking — Pay Small Businesses What They’re Owed.
Protecting Our Economy Starts with Paying Our Small Businesses
Small Business Reform: A National Economic Justice Mission
Every year, stable small businesses across America are forced into bankruptcy—not because of bad management, but because they were never paid for their work. This is a systemic issue threatening America’s workforce, families, and communities.
Why It Matters
- Small businesses employ nearly half of the U.S. private workforce
- Unpaid work leads to layoffs, family instability, and local economic decline
- This is a federal issue—nonpayment abuses destroy national economic health
Our Demands
- Enforce Prompt Payment Laws – federal and state enforcement of 30-day rules
- DOJ Oversight – of bankruptcies linked to nonpayment abuse
- End Legal Delay Tactics – fast-track justice for small business disputes
