Nearly a year after George Floyd s death, over a dozen Chicago companies are pledging to increase spending with local Black and Latino firms and pursue other racial equity measures.
Bank of America, ITW, Rush University Medical Center and Baxter are among initial participants in a Move to Action initiative, calling on corporate Chicago to do more business with minority-owned firms, hire more second-chance job applicants with criminal records or invest in underserved communities.
