250 years ago, it was a general store.
Today, it is a food truck, a salon, a warehouse, a tech startup, and a family owned restaurant.

The tools have changed.
The storefronts have changed.
The industries have changed.

But the courage has stayed the same.

Every generation has had its builders.

The ones who took risks.
Opened early.
Stayed late.
Hired locally.
Served their community.
Built something their family could be proud of.

As America turns 250, we are not just remembering the businesses of the past.
We are recognizing the businesses carrying the country forward.

You're on a job site outside of town and your payment app won't load.
You're trying to send a proposal from the road and your phone shows one bar.

That's a real problem that costs small business owners real money, and it has gone largely unaddressed for years.

Recently, Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile announced a joint venture to pool satellite resources and eliminate wireless dead zones across the U.S., with rural and underserved communities listed as a primary focus.

If your business operates outside major metro coverage, this is worth knowing about. The Joint Venture is still subject to final agreements, but the direction is clear: make staying connected simple, no matter where you are.

When final agreements are in place, we'll tell you what it means for your business and what to do with it.

Verizon T-Mobile AT&T

California small business owners - the California Public Utilities Commission is deciding right now whether to approve a merger that would bring significant broadband investment to the state.

Better speeds. Lower prices. Fewer dead zones. Real infrastructure upgrades in communities that have been overlooked for years.

The Commission needs to hear from the people this affects most. That's you.

Click the link, go to the CPUC proceeding page, and hit "Add Public Comment." Tell them you support the Charter-Cox merger before the August 2026 deadline.

Two minutes. Real impact.

America needs more broadband investment, but Washington cannot make that harder to deliver.

Across the country, communities are still waiting for reliable broadband access. Rural areas, small businesses, schools, and local economies all depend on stronger connectivity.

But broadband expansion requires private sector investment.

That investment becomes harder when federal rules make strategic growth more costly, uncertain, and time consuming.

Javier Palomarez’s latest op-ed makes the point clearly: we can support strong antitrust enforcement without creating unnecessary bureaucracy that slows down the very businesses expected to help close the digital divide.

If policymakers want more broadband, stronger infrastructure, and greater innovation, they must protect the conditions that allow businesses to grow.

AI is creating new opportunities, but it is also disrupting jobs across the American economy.

In his latest op-ed for the Washington Examiner USHBC President & CEO Javier Palomarez argues that America must take worker retraining seriously as AI driven layoffs continue across multiple industries.

The issue is not whether America should embrace AI. The issue is whether workers will be equipped with the skills needed to compete in the economy AI is creating.

Palomarez points to major retraining investments, including Verizon ’s reskilling fund, as an example of the kind of leadership needed from both business and policymakers.

The Faster Labor Contracts Act tries to fix a real labor problem, but the approach should concern small business owners and workers.

First union contracts take too long. According to Javier Palomarez’s latest statement, negotiations drag on for an average of 458 days before a first contract is secured.

Yes. That should be addressed.

But the Faster Labor Contracts Act would create a process where, after a set bargaining and mediation timeline, a government appointed arbitration panel could impose the terms of a contract.

For workers, that could mean being bound by an agreement they did not get to ratify.

For small business owners, it could mean accepting labor costs and terms that do not reflect the actual condition of their business.

USHBC supports good faith bargaining. We also believe the people affected by a contract should have a real voice in shaping it.

Congress should be careful not to replace one problem with another.

At the USHBC, we advocate for American business builders, job creators, and taxpayers to have a stronger voice in the national conversation.

The American dream wasn’t just an idea people sat around believing in.

It was built by ordinary people who believed they could build extraordinary lives.

By farmers, merchants, manufacturers, restaurant owners, contractors, shopkeepers, and entrepreneurs who risked what they had to create something better.

Some of their names made history.
Most did not.

But their work built communities, created jobs, supported families, and powered this country generation after generation.

At the United States Hispanic Business Council, we honor that legacy.
But honoring the legacy of American enterprise means more than looking back.

It means fighting for the builders carrying it forward.

The small business owners opening before sunrise.
The founders betting on themselves.
The families turning sacrifice into opportunity.
The entrepreneurs creating jobs, serving neighborhoods, and keeping the promise of America alive in real time.

As we recognize America’s 250th anniversary, we are not just celebrating history.
We are standing with the people still building it.

Because small business is not just part of the American economy.
It is the American economy.

Join us as we celebrate 250 years of American enterprise and the people shaping what comes next.
