LOS ANGELES—From the hardworking family buying their first home to the small business owner growing her market share, access to financial services can make the difference between moving ahead and getting stuck in a rut. At the 2014 NCLR (National Council of La Raza) Annual Conference, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D–Mass.) will discuss the critical need for federal policies designed to help low-income families access financial services. Warren is a renowned expert on, and a staunch advocate of, the American consumer, including Latinos and immigrants, and has worked throughout her distinguished career to keep the American financial system accessible and accountable to all Americans. Attendees at this year’s economy town hall will also have the chance to hear from a panel of Latino experts and policymakers who work every day to help families access the financial services they need to achieve their goals and move forward.
