Media Giant Comcast Abandons Race-Based Business Program

WILL is never afraid to fight. And that’s exactly what we did when the $110 million “Comcast RISE” program refused to help four small business owners simply because of the color of their skin.

WILL took Comcast to court in April 2022 and Comcast backed down. Facing important court deadlines, Comcast abandoned their program, then entered into a confidential settlement agreement with four small businesses from Indiana, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Massachusetts.

Christopher Moses, one of WILL’s clients who owns a small cleaning company in Indianapolis, told his story to the Wall Street Journal.

Our lawsuit sought to enforce a federal law (passed in 1866) and as a result, WILL secured another win for equality under the law. This doesn’t happen overnight and could not have been done without the strong litigators and legal advice from our organization. And we are just getting started.
