LULAC and Wal-Mart empower Latino communities through health care reform and financial literacy workshops

Wal-Mart is active in thousands of communities across the country and has a unique perspective on health care reform and financial literacy. Given recent economic events, both of these avenues for personal growth are particularly important to every community. Wal-Mart is proud to partner with LULAC at the 2009 Annual Convention (http://www.lulac.org/events/convention09.html) to expand the Latino agenda into the health care and financial literacy space.

Wal-Mart will continue its long standing partnership with LULAC by hosting workshops on healthcare reform and financial literacy at the LULAC Convention. Wal-Mart believes that with the right reform we could have a health care system that actually costs less and provides better care than our current system. Wal-Mart also understands that personal financial literacy is a major step to individual opportunity development and empowerment. The Wal-Mart workshops at the LULAC conference will build individual capacity and share information with convention attendees so they may in turn bring change to their communities.
