Do you know that 99.9% of all businesses are small businesses?
The American Small Business League exposes the diversion of small business contracts to big businesses, opposes bills that would hurt small businesses and the jobs they create, and seeks to protect and expand, through our Don’t Cheat Women Project, opportunities for women and minority-owned businesses.

We want Congress to raise that goal to 15%.
And we want to stop S. 4390 and H.R. 8511, bills that would dismantle federal contracting programs, including contracting goals, for women-owned and minority-owned small businesses. These bills would not only close businesses, erase jobs, and prevent agencies from tracking who receives federal contracts. They would allow 100% of federal contract spending to go to companies owned by white men.
Women deserve to compete for more than 5% of federal contracts. When women have economic equality, they can pursue political equality, which, unfortunately, they still don’t have because that takes money.
Save Minority-Owned and Women-Owned Small Businesses
Identical bills have been introduced in the House (H.R. 8511 by Rep. Glenn Grothman-R, Wisconsin District 6) and the Senate (S. 4390 by Sen. Mike Lee-R, Utah) that would wipe out the federal contracting goals for minority and Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSBs).
These bills will hurt thousands of businesses, deprive the economy of hundreds of thousands of new jobs, decrease competition, weaken the federal supply chain, and could steer 100% of federal contract dollars to companies owned by white men.
Please help us oppose these bills.
Small Business Advocate
"Lloyd Chapman and the America Small Business League deserve recognition for the hard work they have done trying to bring an end to the diversion of federal small business contracts to corporate giants. Their efforts, along with the passage of H.R. 2568, will provide a significant boost to our nation's middle class economy"
- Supporter Congressman Hank Johnson
“It would be more like David and Goliath. You get to come in there and be the underdog against the big company and against the big government."
