A lack of direct deposit and checking accounts results in the average "unbanked" central Texan to lose $40000 in their life time. In addition, millions of dollars are lost annually on predatory pay day loans. This presentation covers Financial Empowerment in the Workplace, a project developed through partnerships of Hispanic Austin Leadership, United Way Capital Area, and the local Bank On Campaign to address this issue at the employer level. The goal of the campaign was to educate employees, through the workplace, to open bank accounts, set up direct deposit, and avoid predatory loans. "Payday lending is a controversial practice and faces both legal battles and public perception challenges in nearly every place where it is practiced." en.wikipedia.org Alejandro Dominguez, alumni of Hispanic Austin Leadership and active member in the Austin community, presents the outcome of the project on 4/29/10 in Austin, TX to over 200 members and guests of the Greater Austin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

what happened with Omar Torrijos. JOHN PERKINS: Well, Omar, again, was very stalwartly standing up to the United States, demanding that the Panama Canal should be owned by Panamanians. And I spent a lot of time with Torrijos, and I liked him very, very much as an individual. He was extremely charismatic, extremely courageous and very nationalistic about wanting to get the best for his people. And I couldn't corrupt him. I tried everything I could possibly do to bring him around. And as I was failing, I was also very concerned that something would happen to him. And sure enough—it was interesting that Jaime Roldos's plane crashed in May, and Torrijos said—got his family together and said, "I'm probably next, but I'm ready to go. We've now got the Canal turned over." He had signed a treaty with Jimmy Carter to get the Canal in Panamanian hands. He said, "I've accomplished my job, and I'm ready to go now." And he had a dream about being in a plane that hit a mountain. And within two months after it happened to Roldos, it happened to Torrijos also. AMY GOODMAN: And you met with both these men? JOHN PERKINS: Yes, I'd met with both of them. AMY GOODMAN: What were your conversations like? JOHN PERKINS: Well, especially with Torrijos, I spent a lot of time with him in some formal meetings and also at cocktail parties and barbecues—he was big on things like that—and was constantly trying to get him to come around to our side and letting him know that if he did, he and his family ...
