Dear Friends,
It's my great pleasure to announce that Real Economic Impact, a movement that has spread from our office in Washington, DC to over 100 cities nationwide, is now online in more places than ever before --- including our newly revamped blog, Facebook and Twitter! Via this newsletter, we'll keep you up-to-date on our latest adventures, both online and off-line, all with the goal of expanding our community and uniting the real economic impact connections between asset building, relative disability issues, and public policy.
Thanks, as always, for your continued support in our various strategies to change thinking and attitudes about a better economic future. Together, we're charting a new path to work, savings and full inclusion in the economic mainstream. We share a passion for policy change, affordable and accessible financial services, and financial freedom. We're united in our goals and we hope you'll continue to join us in building real economic impact!
We are sending this first issue of the Real Economic Impact Newsletter to you because of your past interest and investment in a better economic future for individuals with disabilities nationwide. If you would like to continue this receive this newsletter, please sign up!
