Finding common ground
To mark its 44th anniversary, Consumer Action’s Annual Awards Reception on October 20, 2015, will celebrate the theme “Common Ground,” a nod to our work with diverse communities, private sector players, "strange bedfellows" coalitions and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. Common ground is a powerful concept for connecting the struggles and issues of divergent groups. Above all, we believe that those whose opinions differ from ours nonetheless deserve our respect, assistance, empathy and compassion and that human dignity and freedom from unfairness and deception is our goal for all consumers. By planting the seeds of hope and prosperity in common ground, we give them a better chance of flourishing.
Please join us on October 20 in Washington, DC to celebrate our tradition of working amicably with all marketplace participants and to honor this year’s Consumer Excellence awardees: Kenneth Feinberg, Feinberg Rozen, LLP, an American attorney specializing in mediation and alternative dispute resolution; the Center for Public Integrity, an investigative news organization whose mission it is to help preserve the public trust in public and private institutions by revealing abuses of power and corruption; and the Center for Financial Services Innovation, which offers increased access to higher-quality products and practices to improve the financial health of Americans.
