Vice President Kamala Harris is making a pitch to black men ahead of her rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, on Oct. 14 as her polling numbers lag in that key voting bloc.

The Democratic presidential nominee’s “opportunity agenda for black men” includes 1 million forgivable business loans of up to $20,000 each for black entrepreneurs, more apprenticeships, and research into sickle cell disease and other illnesses that disproportionately affect African American men.
