The America Saves Summit 2020: Building Financial Stability in Unstable Times will address head-on the pervasive financial instability for so many Americans. Join us for discussions with representatives from the government, private industry, financial services, the military, and the nonprofit sector. We will explore the varied financial landscape and concrete actions taken to address racial inequity and the Coronavirus pandemic. Additionally, America Saves will translate to its partners the insights and barriers explored during our direct-to-consumer Town Hall series. On the second day of the Summit, virtual attendees will hear from more experts in the field as we build a roadmap to targeting specific populations and how to promote saving in unstable times.
