Kamala Harris unveiled an economic plan aimed at specifying how she’ll “deliver for Black men” as president, with a focus on measures that will help Black men start businesses, get good jobs, and achieve economic security for their families. On the whole, it seems a lot more comprehensive than Trump’s effort to reach out to Black voters by playing up his mugshot.

The measures come partly in response to polling showing that some Black men, particularly those under 50, are considering not voting, or even voting for Donald Trump. The Washington Post talked to Black men in Pontiac, Michigan, who feel unseen and unheard.

The agenda document notes that it was developed in response to a national listening tour Harris made earlier, during which she met with Black men in cities like Atlanta, Detroit, and Charlotte.

Among the chief pillars of the plan are a proposal to provide one million loans of up to $20,000 to Black entrepreneurs through the Small Business Administration; the loans would, as with other SBA loan programs, be forgivable if certain conditions are met.
