About This Cause

OneTen recognizes the unique potential in every one — every individual, every business, every community — to change the arc of America’s story. It’s about how one opportunity can catalyze intergenerational wealth in Black families. How one Black individual can set forth a wave of talent within a company to reshape industries. How every one of us championing the Black community can unite to shift the tides of equity in America. Black talent have the collective power to close the opportunity gap in America. In a society divided by systemic inequities, we put skills first to create pathways to success and continued advancement. As each of us works to reset precedents and shatter the status quo, we support one another. We listen and build better. United in our shared commitment to equity, we cultivate opportunities that unleash potential and advance a society where everyone belongs, and any one can rise. The memory of George Floyd forged a reckoning with the systemic oppression of Black people in America. Days after his murder, leading Black executives Ken Chenault and Ken Frazier came together to discuss how corporations can take meaningful and sustained action for racial justice and equity in America. Together, they formed a coalition to break through barriers to economic opportunity and mobility. In December 2020, nearly 30 founding companies committed to upskilling, hiring and promoting one million Black individuals into family-sustaining careers over the next ten years.
