Atlanta, GA (December 7, 2023) – The following statement is from the Fearless Fund and Fearless Foundation. On Wednesday, attorneys for the entities filed a brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals, 11th Circuit, in the ongoing lawsuit brought by American Alliance for Equal Rights.
“Women of color-owned businesses are a vital, growing sector to our economy yet received less than one percent of venture capital funding,” said Arian Simone, CEO and Founding Partner of Fearless Fund. “Our legal team filed a brief in support of our First Amendment right to voice our view that these women of color-owned businesses need to be supported, and that we are aligned with them through the Fearless Foundation’s Strivers Grant Program. We will fight fearlessly to protect these businesses, the dreams of their founders, and our right to express this viewpoint, against any and all legal challenges.”
