Hoyer Attends Collective Empowerment Group Morning Breakfast

WASHINGTON, DC – This morning, Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) attended the Collective Empowerment Group's monthly Power Breakfast. Each month, the Collective Empowerment Group hosts a Friday morning breakfast that convenes Maryland pastors and business leaders for an hour-long program focused on networking and education.

"I was glad to share the first Friday of Black History Month with the Collective Empowerment Group today," said Congressman Hoyer. "The Collective Empowerment Group's monthly meetings are vital gatherings that foster partnerships between our churches and businesses, and support valuable connections to our local community."

"These relationships also help strengthen and grow local economic opportunities throughout Maryland, an important priority throughout my time in Congress. The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored dramatic racial economic disparities that must be addressed here in our communities and nationwide. That's why I was proud to have helped secure enactment of both the American Rescue Plan, which has helped families in need whether this pandemic and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which will bolster jobs in Maryland's Fifth District and ensure equitable access to our economy for those who have been left out for too long," continued Congressman Hoyer. "I greatly support the work Collective Empowerment Group does for Maryland, and look forward to continuing our discussions in the future to help meet the needs of our people."

The Collective Empowerment Group works to strengthen partnerships between churches and local businesses to align resources that empower community members and connect them to greater economic opportunities.
