Racial Equity Toolkit
One of the projects from the California Small Business Coalition for Racial Justice is an advocacy playbook: Racial Economic Equity In Small Business Funding.
We created a Social Media Toolkit for the playbook that lives in our CAMEO Academy’s Small Business Coalition for Racial Justice course. Please Email Annissa if you would like to be added to the course.
The Coalition is a collaboration of 17 lenders and nonprofits in which CAMEO participates and sits on the steering committee.

Fintech Takes the Stage
On July 13, 2022 the U.S. House of Representatives Small Business Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Regulations held a hearing titled: “Fintech and Transparency in Small Business Lending.” Fintech is the technology and innovation that are changing the way banking and lending are done.
Read more about the hearing in our blog post “Increasing Transparency in Fintech Takes the State in Congressional Hearing.”
