February 17, 2021 10:49 PMLegal - By LOS ANGELES—Free Speech Coalition has partnered with CDFI blueacorn to create an industry-specific tool for members of the adult industry to apply for first and second-round Payment Protection Program (PPP) forgivable loans successfully. “During the first round of PPP loans, too many adult businesses and independent contractors didn’t apply or didn’t believe they qualified,” says Michelle L. LeBlanc, executive director of the Free Speech Coalition. “Our businesses deserve the same access to relief funds as those in other industries. Through our partnership with blueacorn, we’re able to give our members access to specialized resources that have greatly simplified the process of applying for second-round PPP loans.”
