The Port Arthur chapter of the NAACP encourages Black businesses to participate in the Paycheck Protection Program through Aug. 8.

This extension provides more opportunity for small business owners to access the remaining $130 billion in funding and offers additional time for business owners to get the critical support they need to maintain staff and operations.

As part of our continued advocacy on behalf Black businesses, the NAACP has partnered with Diversity Capital Company to assist in accessing this unprecedented funding support.
