Discover the potential impact of Black American consumers voting with their wallets and how it can create change.
A new movement is challenging Black America to harness its collective economic power for real change. Friends of the Movement, along with the nation’s top civil rights organizations, have launched Our Money United—a historic conscious spending campaign aimed at closing the wealth gap and delivering economic justice, powered by digital tools that let you take action right from your phone. Economic and social change is within our grasp, and the time to act is now.
For generations, Black communities and their allies have fought for freedom and equality. We’ve led the fight for justice, from the abolition of slavery to the civil rights movement. Now, we are stepping into a new chapter: economic justice.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. showed us the way. He understood that while civil rights were essential, economic power was the key to lasting change. He called it “silver rights.” King’s vision of economic boycotts as a tool for justice is more relevant than ever today.
King once feared that he had “integrated his people into a burning house,” realizing that true freedom couldn’t exist in a system built on economic inequality. He knew that economic justice was the next phase of the fight—and that’s where we come in.
King’s Vision: Economic Justice for All
Dr. King’s Poor People’s Campaign was rooted in the belief that economic power was essential to dismantling inequality. He recognized that the wealth gap and economic discrimination were as harmful as segregation. His campaign aimed to unite Black Americans and their allies in the fight for better wages, housing, and opportunities for all. King knew that only by combining our voices and our spending power could we level the playing field.
The New Era: Our Money United
Today, we are building on King’s vision, amplified by the power of technology. The Our Money United campaign takes the foundation laid by the Poor People’s Campaign and adds a new tool: data-driven spending power. With the Black Wall Street Ticker, we can now track and measure our collective spending in real-time. The goal remains the same—economic justice for all—but the tools have evolved.
While the Poor People’s Campaign demanded systemic change through protests and boycotts, Our Money United takes the fight directly to the marketplace. Every dollar spent at Black-owned and allied businesses is a vote for a more equitable economy. By tracking our collective economic impact, we can hold corporations accountable and force real change.
It’s Time to Fulfill King’s Dream
The tools have evolved, but the mission is the same. Technology now allows us to vote not just at the ballot box, but with our wallets. It’s time to make every dollar count.
Dual Voting: At the Ballot Box and with Our Money
The deaths of Trayvon Martin, George Floyd, and others sparked global movements. Social media amplified our voices, uniting people of all backgrounds to demand change. Corporations pledged billions to fight systemic racism—but where’s the accountability? Now is the time to demand results.
Introducing the Black Wall Street Ticker
With the Our Money United campaign, FotM Global is giving us the tools to control our economic future. The Black Wall Street Ticker tracks our collective spending in real-time, showing the world the impact of Black and ally dollars.
The Power of Our Economic Impact
Imagine 50 million consumers united by a common purpose. If each person spends just $2,500 annually with Black-owned or allied businesses, the Black Wall Street Ticker will display this economic force for the world to see. This is how we hold corporations accountable and win.
We know that when we unite our voices, the world listens. Now, we’re uniting our dollars. Together, we can create an economic shift that rivals the civil rights victories of the past. Our allies stood with us then, and we need them to stand with us now—because real change happens when everyone gets involved.
Accountability Through Action
It’s simple: what gets measured, gets done. The Black Wall Street Ticker gives us the tools to measure our impact and ensure that corporations live up to their promises. This is our moment to make King’s vision of economic justice a reality. We’re not just dreaming—we’re making it happen.
This is not the time for words. It’s the time for action. The power is in our hands. Let’s vote with our dollars and create the change we’ve been waiting for.
