Pershing Square Issues Statement Regarding Herbalife

0

NEW YORK, July 15, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P. (“Pershing Square”) today released the following statement:

Today, the FTC, in its complaint filed in Federal Court concluded[1]:

“In sum, Defendants’ compensation structure incentivizes Distributors to purchase thousands of dollars of product to receive recruiting-based rewards and to recruit new participants who will do the same. This results in the over‐recruitment of participants and the over-supply of Defendants’ products and exacerbates participants’ difficulty in selling Herbalife products for a profit.

Participants in a business opportunity should have some reasonable prospect of earning profits from reselling products to customers. However, most Herbalife participants earn little or no profit, or even lose money, from retailing Herbalife products.

In the absence of a viable retail-based business opportunity, recruiting, rather than retail sales, is the natural focus of successful participants in Defendants’ business opportunity. Thus, participants’ wholesale purchases from Herbalife are primarily a payment to participate in a business opportunity that rewards recruiting at the expense of retail sales.”

Under Koscot, Omnitrition, Vemma and other key FTC pyramid scheme cases, the above findings constitute a pyramid scheme. While it appears that Herbalife negotiated away the words “pyramid scheme” from the settlement agreement, the FTC’s findings are clear.

As part of the settlement, Herbalife can only compensate distributors for “Profitable Retail Sales,” a genuine sale made at a price above the distributor’s average total cost for the product. In light of the fact that the FTC found that Herbalife distributors make little or no profit, or even lose money from retailing Herbalife products, there are no longer any meaningful incentives to become or remain an Herbalife distributor.

The settlement also requires Herbalife to eliminate minimum purchase requirements and other inventory loading incentives. Furthermore, in order to maintain eligibility or advance in the plan, distributor requirements must be met through “Profitable Retail Sales” or sales to “Preferred Customers,” who are not buying product to participate in the business opportunity.

We expect that once Herbalife’s business restructuring is fully implemented, these fundamental structural changes will cause the pyramid to collapse as top distributors and others take their downlines elsewhere or otherwise quit the business.

The FTC complaint and settlement provide a roadmap for regulators in 90 other countries around the world to enforce similar requirements. We intend to work with these regulators to ensure that no future victims are harmed whether in the U.S. or otherwise.

We congratulate the FTC for enforcing the law that will lead to protections for consumers in the United States and the rest of the world.

Latino Conservation Week Highlights Community’s Passion for Outdoors and Protecting Public Lands, Kicks Off This Weekend (July 16 – 24)

Latinos across the country are celebrating #LatinoConservationWeek with over 100 events nationwide.

WASHINGTON, July 15, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — This weekend, the third annual Latino Conservation Week (#LatinoConservationWeek, #LCW2016) kicks off, continues through July 24 and will be celebrated with more than 100 events nationwide. The week is an opportunity for Latinos to demonstrate their passion for enjoying and protecting public lands through various outings, volunteer cleanups, educational events, roundtable discussions, film screenings and numerous other community activities in 17 states stretching from Massachusetts to California.

“Latinos are passionate about enjoying the outdoors and hold a strong belief that we have a moral obligation to protect it for future generations,” said Maite Arce, president of Hispanic Access Foundation, which launched Latino Conservation Week in 2014 in its effort to showcase this community’s commitment to the outdoors and provide opportunities for engagement. “The week’s events will introduce Latinos to new opportunities, new locations and new ways to translate their passion for the outdoors into making a difference for our nation’s treasured natural resources.”

Historically, Latinos have not been actively engaged to participate in our nation’s public lands. Even with widely documented support, only eight percent of Latinos engaged in outdoor recreation in 2015, according to the Outdoor Foundation. Latino Conservation Week helps to break down barriers to the Latino population’s enjoyment of public lands, encourages new opportunities to experience these sites, creates a unique platform for groups to reach out to this community and inspires the next generation of environmental stewards.

“As the largest minority group in America – one that is expected to grow to nearly one-third the population by 2050 – the Latino community’s engagement is critical to ensuring the future success and preservation of our nation’s public lands,” said Arce. “We appreciate the vast number of event partners and sponsors who recognize the importance of encouraging more Latinos to go outdoors and experiencing all that our nation’s public lands have to offer.”

Nearly 60 parks, organizations and community groups have joined Latino Conservation Week as sponsors and event partners. These include National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, U.S. Forest Service, National Wildlife Refuge System, REI, Por la Creacion: Faith-based Alliance, Latino Outdoors, Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority, Sierra Club, COFEM, Atlanta Audubon Society, Los Angeles Audubon Society, Wilderness Society, New Mexico Wildlife Federation, Conservation Lands Foundation, Impacto Juvenil and Latinos for Parks. A full list of participating groups is available here.

“The growth in participation and interest of Latino Conservation Week has been tremendous. What started as 17 events in six states has grown – in just three years – to more than 100 events in as many as 17 states,” said Arce. “This is a collaborative effort with the potential to have a significant positive impact on the Latino community and our nation’s treasured spaces.”

Events are currently scheduled in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. A full list of confirmed events is available at http://www.latinoconservationweek.com/index.php/events.

Evidence-based Runaway Prevention Tool for Latino Communities

0

CHICAGO, July 15, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The National Runaway Safeline (NRS), the communication system for runaway, homeless and at-risk youth, today announced the release of its updated Spanish Let’s Talk: Runaway Prevention Curriculum (RPC). The curriculum is a free, evidence-based, interactive 14 module curriculum intended to educate young people about alternatives to running away as well as to build life skills so that youth can resolve problems without resorting to running away or unsafe behavior.

“We want our youth to be empowered, and we understand the importance of delivering culturally appropriate materials to our Spanish speaking communities nationwide. The release of the updated Spanish version of the Let’s Talk curriculum will help our youth to make informed decisions about alternatives to running away,” says Rafael López, Commissioner of the Administration on Children, Youth and Families.

Last year, with the First Nonprofit Foundation’s support, NRS conducted a desktop review of the RPC. The grant provided NRS an opportunity to make sure that this valuable tool remains up-to-date and relevant and continues to address issues that youth are facing. The review not only resulted in adding new NRS branding and updated statistics to the curriculum but also the addition of new material on relational violence and human trafficking. The updated RPC, English version, was released in June 2015. This year, with funding from Family and Youth Services Bureau, Administration for Children and Families, U.S. DHHS, NRS was able to translate the updated RPC into Spanish.  

“In 2015, 17% of individuals in crisis connecting to NRS identified as being Hispanic or Latino,” reports Maureen Blaha, NRS Executive Director. “By providing our Let’s Talk: Runaway Prevention Curriculum in Spanish, we are helping Spanish-speaking youth build critical coping-mechanism skills.”       

Let’s Talk: Runaway Prevention Curriculum was developed to use in its entirety or as individual modules or activities, and it provides users with over 40 easy-to-use, youth approved activities on various topics. Through the curriculum, NRS is able to help youth-serving organizations across the country teach valuable skills to youth while ensuring that youth learn about NRS and know how to access 1-800-RUNAWAY and 1800RUNAWAY.org for help. To download the free Let’s Talk: Runaway Prevention Curriculum in English or Spanish, visit 1800RUNAWAY.org/providers-educators.

The National Runaway Safeline (NRS) makes more than 250,000 connections to help and hope through hotline (1-800-RUNAWAY), online (1800RUNAWAY.org), texting (66008) and offline resources. NRS provides crisis intervention, referrals to local resources, and education and prevention services to youth, families and community members throughout the country 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. More than 15,000 youth have been reunited with their families through NRS’ Home Free program done in collaboration with Greyhound Lines, Inc. For more information, visit 1800RUNAWAY.org.

SACRAMENTO, California, July 14, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC), the world’s largest Hispanic Christian organization, representing millions of Evangelicals worldwide, today made the following statement regarding The Bastille Day attack in Nice, France:

“Today’s terrible attack in the southern coast of France reminds us of the dark days in which we live. While yet grieving for the victims of the tragedies in our home country, we now turn our attention to Nice, where we join in mourning the heartbreaking loss of innocent lives.

“We are reminded in the first book of the Bible, Genesis, that in the beginning ‘darkness covered the earth.’ But God spoke and said ‘let there be light’ and immediately it was so.

“In that same spirit, individuals of faith must speak and act accordingly, being a light of support to those grieving and a light of hope to a world who is fearful of the next attack. Darkness has tried to cover the face of the earth once again, but we have the opportunity to shine the light by standing for love not hatred.”

The NHCLC serves as a representative voice for the more than 100 million Hispanic Evangelicals assembled in over 40,000 U.S. churches and hundreds of thousands of additional congregations spread worldwide throughout the Spanish-speaking diaspora. Seeking to reconcile evangelist Billy Graham’s message of salvation with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s march of prophetic activism, the NHCLC emphasizes “7 Directives” of Life, Family, Compassionate Evangelism, Stewardship, Justice, Education and Youth.

The Latino Coalition Hosts Premier Hispanic Event at 2016 Republican National Convention

0

WASHINGTON, July 14, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — On the eve of an unprecedented Republican National Convention, The Latino Coalition (TLC), the leading national non-partisan advocacy organization representing Hispanic businesses and consumers, will host the premier Latino event, “Honoring Hispanic Leaders,” on Wednesday, July 20 in Cleveland, OH.

“Many of our national leaders, including the presidential candidates to date, have not effectively engaged the ever-important Latino electorate,” said Hector Barreto, TLC’s Chairman and Former Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration. “One thing is clear: Hispanics have the power to change the direction of our economy and our country’s future this election day. On July 20, we will educate, inspire and build on our community’s power, with the goal of reminding our leaders that Latinos are much more than just the fastest growing demographic group.” 

In describing TLC’s goals for the Convention, Barreto said: “We will connect our members, with elected officials and with the Republican Presidential campaign. And we will continue to serve as a key center of influence and a leading voice on the issues that matter most to Hispanic Americans— national security, the economy, healthcare and education.”

Facilitating access and vital information at this year’s Republican Convention, TLC’s event program will include: a briefing entitled “Is it the Best of Times or the Worst of Times?” and an “Honoring Hispanic Leaders Luncheon“. The briefing will examine the issues and common sense solutions important to the business community and will be emceed by FOX News Contributor and The Washington Times political columnist, Mercedes Viana-Schlapp.

The Latino Coalition has confirmed influential leaders and speakers including: former Presidential nominee New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Congressman Bill Flores (R-TX), Congressman Keith Rothfus (R-PA), newly-appointed Mexican Ambassador Carlos Sada, The Libre Initiative Executive Director Daniel Garza and key leadership from the Republican National Committee.

“In past elections, the Hispanic American electorate have proven their voting power,” said Jennifer Sevilla Korn, RNC Deputy Political Director. “This election will be no different. Therefore, we are excited to take part in The Latino Coalition’s event to celebrate the diversity and vibrancy Latinos contribute to our country.”

Celebrating the contributions of Hispanics to the world of business and the greater Latino community, the event will also honor prominent individuals such as The Coca-Cola Company Vice President of Latin Affairs, Rudy Beserra. Beserra is not only a trailblazer in his role as a Latino business executive, he exemplifies decades of leadership in his community involvement as well.

The exciting day will also include the release of the TLC Rising Latino Electorate: Latinos and the 2016 Elections poll – an on-going election-year study revealing how conservative Latinos are not a monolithic voting bloc. The poll sampling confirms that the country’s growing Republican and Independent Hispanic population does not have an overwhelming favorable view of either presidential candidate, to date. The complete poll findings will be released July 20 during the briefing.

“Both candidates, especially Donald Trump, still have the opportunity to change their outreach to the Latino community and it starts with a new dialogue. The “Honoring Hispanic Leaders” event is the starting point of what we hope is a new and constructive conversation with the Latino community,” said TLC National Executive Director, Allen Gutierrez.

The Latino Coalition would like to thank the following sponsors:  AT&T, Comcast Universal, Congressional Hispanic Leadership Institute, Microsoft, and National Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators.
