“The American Red Cross is where people mobilize to help their neighbors down the street, across the country and around the world. We believe in supporting the NUL because we want to make sure that people know that the Red Cross insures that no patient goes without blood no matter where and when they need it. In addition, the Red Cross supplies relief to victims of disasters and saves millions in life saving skills. We support the NUL and we want to make sure that we get information out to everyone across America; how it’s so important to give blood and at the same time know life saving skills.”
- Priscilla Wallace Project Manager, American Red Cross American Red Cross - Priscilla Wallace
“The FTC feels it’s important for all consumers to know about their rights and to know about resources they have available to them in the marketplace to help them make informed buying decisions. We did it last year to great success in Chicago. We will con- tinue to work with the NUL and its affiliates across the country to educate people about consumer resources, financial literacy and other things that make them stronger and make wise decisions in the marketplace.”
- Lisa Lake Consumer Education Specialist, Federal Trade Commission
“The NUL is one our most ardent supporters in getting the message out to the African American community and to all communities of the importance of the Census. There are 400 billion dollars per year associated with the Census numbers and the American community survey. The NUL assisted us in great detail making sure the information was distributed to every crack and crevice of the U.S. The Census Bureau appreciates the NUL and we are in support of their activities.”
- Troy King National Partnership Specialist / Statistics Advocate, U.S. Census Bureau
