As a resident of Frisco, Texas, it often pains me to witness individuals on the side of the road leading challenging and precarious lives. I believe that stronger local entrepreneurship can alleviate these circumstances by providing employment opportunities. This sentiment forms the cornerstone of our call for initiatives that promote small business growth and entrepreneurship in our community. Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. They represent approximately 99.7% of all businesses in the U.S, employing about half of our private-sector workforce (Statista, 2019).

Through bolstering economic policies that support entrepreneurship and resources for small businesses, we can fuel a cycle of local development and create jobs. Implementing programs that offer business grants, low-interest loans, and mentorship will provide potential entrepreneurs with the right tools to start and grow their businesses. This proposed approach is not just about business growth, it is also about empowering individuals to reshape their future, climbing out of poverty, and securing a stable livelihood.

Let us rally for the implementation of policies and resources, focusing on small business development and entrepreneurship, to breathe life into job creation and economic growth in Frisco. As the jobs available in Frisco are limited to skilled workers, allowing chances for small governments to grow helps people living in poverty to overcome the challenge of not being able to live their lives to their fullest. It is time our local governance invests in our local businesses and people.

Sign this petition to support our plea, and let's together foster a robust, interconnected community through small business growth and entrepreneurship. Part of The Peace Warrior Global youth program.
