Kinecta/NIX Neighborhood Lending And Juntos Avanzamos Bring New Financial Inclusion Milestone To Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, May 31, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, Kinecta/NIX Neighborhood Lending became the largest Juntos Avanzamos (Together We Advance) designated credit union in California. It is the 50^th credit union to be evaluated for the nationwide designation, a new and important milestone for the program.

In the U.S., minorities remain largely unbanked and vulnerable to predatory financial service providers. Originated in 2005, Juntos Avanzamos recognizes commitments from credit unions seeking to empower the Hispanic consumer and serve the Hispanic market more effectively. To qualify, credit unions must demonstrate that they have flexible loan underwriting and CIP policies, offer affordable credit, savings and transaction services, and that they make their products, services and financial education accessible to Spanish-speakers. The National Federation of Community Development Credit Unions (the Federation) leads a nationwide expansion of the program in collaboration with the California Credit Union League and a number of other industry partners.

In recognition of the honor, executives from Kinecta/Nix and the Federation of CDCU, together with Senior Vice President, Member Solutions of California Credit Union League Larry Palochik, joined Los Angeles elected officials, local business and community leaders, as well as credit union members to celebrate a Juntos Avanzamos flag raising ceremony at Nix Neighborhood Lending, located at 1009 W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Los Angeles. Opening remarks were delivered by Kinecta President and CEO Keith Sultemeier, and by NIX President Luis Peralta, who accepted the Juntos Avanzamos flag and proclamation from the Federation Senior Vice President Pablo DeFilippi. Guest speakers included Luis Manuel Lopez from the Mexican Consulate and Linda Lopez, Deputy Mayor for Immigrant Affairs. Also in attendance were members of the community, supporters and NIX employees who helped celebrate the designation.

“As Nix approaches its 50-year anniversary of serving the residents of Los Angeles, we are honored to be recognized for our commitment to the Hispanic community,” said Peralta. “This accreditation is an important acknowledgement of the efforts Nix and Kinecta have put in place in order to expand access for marginalized minorities to affordable small-dollar credit and to help build credit for consumers who don’t fit the traditional borrower model.”

“Kinecta/NIX is the largest credit union in California to join our effort and we salute their leadership, vision and commitment to financial inclusion for underserved communities throughout Los Angeles,” said DeFilippi. “Juntos Avanzamos seeks to provide consistency around product delivery, institutional requirement and documentation requirements that identifies participant credit unions as Hispanic-friendly. The program is a bridge to connect consumers with credit unions committed to financial inclusion.”

About Kinecta FCU
Kinecta Federal Credit Union (kinecta.org) is one of the nation’s largest credit unions, with approximately $3.80 billion in assets; 22 branches; three retail mortgage centers; 30 Nix customer service centers and 10 Kinecta branches at Nix locations; and more than 282,000 members nationwide. Kinecta offers its members a full range of financial products through the Credit Union and its subsidiaries, Kinecta Financial & Insurance Services and Kinecta Alternative Financial Solutions, dba Nix Neighborhood Lending (nixlending.com).

TURN Wins David V Goliath Victory Against AT&T, Keeps Customers Connected

Workers and Consumers Unite Against AB 2395

SACRAMENTO, California, May 31, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Millions of Californians who depend on copper landlines for reliable phone and Internet connections and superior 911 capabilities can breath a sigh of relief today. AT&T sponsored AB 2395 (Low) has been defeated for the time being and held in suspense by the Assembly Appropriations Committee.

The bill would have stripped away the few remaining consumer protections California’s landline customers have, including the requirement to provide service in remote rural areas. The Communications Workers of America (CWA) joined TURN in spearheading opposition to AB 2395 due to urgent concerns about consumers being left without dependable service, especially in emergency situations.

“AT&T often gets its way in Sacramento, where it is one of the top spenders on lobbying and political donations,” said TURN executive director Mark Toney. “This time, the public outcry was so loud it could not be ignored.” Toney said thousands of TURN members had contacted their representatives to urge rejection of the bill. In addition, rural counties, consumer groups, seniors, emergency personnel and workers had all been united in opposition.

“Customers still want the choice of copper, and for now they’ll be able to keep that,” said Toney. “If AT&T wants to take copper away, it should invest in improving the reliability of alternative services, rather than in lobbying to eliminate consumer protections.”

La Embajada comes to ATRESERIES, a story about morality and people’s price

May 31, 2016

0

MADRID, May 31, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — La Embajada (‘The Embassy’), the latest exclusive premiere on the series channel Atresmedia Internacional, is a riveting thriller that navigates through zones of personal ambition, power at any price, intrigue, betrayal, boundless passion, lust and love.

Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: http://www.multivu.com/players/English/7789951-atresmedia-bambu-producciones-la-embajada

Located in Thailand, ‘La Embajada’ features Luis Salinas as one of its protagonists, Spain’s new ambassador to this Asian land. He moves there with his family, intent on giving their lives a new direction and performing his mission flawlessly. And yet, this country and the exotic universe through which the characters move will become the beginning of the end of his personal and professional life.

A wolf in sheep’s clothing awaits Luis at his new destination: Eduardo, chargé d’affaires pending arrival of the new ambassador; a man whose ambition drives him to set in motion a Machiavellian scheme.

Along with the main plot, the series includes a not at all conventional marriage consisting of Eduardo and Fátima (Raúl Arévalo and Amaia Salamanca); an impossible love triangle (Claudia, the ambassador’s wife, Carlos, a young backpacker, and Ester, the ambassador’s daughter), and a forbidden couple (Ester and Roberto, Eduardo’s brother). At the same time, a wide array of characters – all close to the ambassador’s circle of power – strive to achieve their aims, whatever they may be.

Chapter 1: ‘Hand in the fire’

A line of police vans drives into the Spanish embassy grounds in Thailand. The officers go straight to the office of the ambassador, Luis Salinas, who is arrested for money laundering, bribery, influence peddling and much more, as the search turns up wads and wads of cash. As the trial gets started, the first person to testify is Claudia, the ambassador’s wife, who tells her story since she arrived in Thailand a year ago.
