NEW YORK, Oct. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Parents and kids now have a way to help them manage allowances, complete and check off chores, monitor spending, and save towards a goal. Launching today, Chase First Banking is a new checking account with no monthly fees designed to help parents teach kids and teens about the importance of money management through the Chase Mobile app.

The account was built by Chase in collaboration with Greenlight—a company on a mission to help parents raise financially smart kids.

Most kids learn about money when out shopping with their families. But as more transactions happen digitally, kids can lose touch with real-time discussions on the value of money and how to think about purchases.

«Families are juggling so many more responsibilities today than ever before,» said Allison Beer, Head of Digital for Consumer & Community Banking at JPMorgan Chase. «To help, we’ve made it easy for parents to manage kids’ allowances, keep track of chores and teach important financial skills from within the Chase Mobile app.»

To keep things simple, Chase First Banking accounts have three features—Earn, Spend and Save. Here is how it works:

For adults:

  • As the owner of the account, the Earn tab allows them to set allowances and assign chores, including how much kids will receive and when they need to be completed.
  • They can set the amount kids can spend and at what types of stores from the Spend tab and receive alerts when spending happens.
  • They also have exclusive control over moving funds from Save once kids complete a goal.
  • For extra peace of mind, they also can turn features on and off, lock their kid’s debit card, and cancel and adjust chores or allowances.

For kids:

  • Each child gets their own personal debit card that can be used only based on the spending limits set by their parents.
  • From their own Chase Mobile app, Earn lets them see what chores they have been assigned, check them off when completed, and see when their allowance is paid.
  • Spend helps them know how much they have and where they can make purchases.
  • Save helps them work toward a financial goal and alerts their parents when it’s been achieved.
  • They can also lock or freeze their card if they misplace it.

«Having this account is like having a financial health learner’s permit: kids can learn how to manage money, and parents have the ability to guide their experience safely and in real-time,» said Kavita Kamdar, Head of Chase First Banking, JPMorgan Chase.

Exclusively for Chase retail deposit account customers, Chase First Banking accounts can be opened for free by parents, adult family members and legal guardians through their Chase Mobile app.  Chase has over 54 million digitally active and 39 million mobile active customers. To learn more, including videos on how it works, visit Chase.com/FirstBanking starting today, or visit a Chase branch. In addition to Chase First Banking, the bank also offers checking and savings accounts for high school and college-aged youth.

On-sale at Honda dealerships beginning tomorrow, the 2021 Accord will carry a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting at $24,770 (not including destination and handling), while the 2021 Accord Hybrid will be available at a starting MSRP of $26,370Click here for a video tour of the changes.

Widely regarded by experts as the benchmark midsize sedan, Honda raises the Accord’s game for the 2021 model year with a refresh that includes updates to styling, technology, drivability and safety features. In addition, unique upgrades were made to performance and design for the ultra-efficient and refined Accord Hybrid. On-sale at Honda dealerships beginning tomorrow, the 2021 Accord carries a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting at $24,770 (excluding destination/handling).

 «The new Honda Accord Hybrid is really the Accord to buy, offering customers more of everything they like about Accord — more power, refinement and, of course, excellent fuel economy ratings,» said Dave Gardner, executive vice president of National Operations at American Honda.  

2021 ACCORD UPGRADES
For the 2021 model year, all Accords boast a wider, restyled grille for an even more sophisticated look, along with improved integration of the Honda Sensing® system’s radar unit. Flanking the new grille on Sport and above trims (EX and above on Hybrid) are new LED high- and low-beam headlights with longer and wider down-the-road illumination. Also new are smaller openings for the fog lights. Additionally, LX, EX-L and Touring trims all receive new alloy wheel designs, while a new color is available for Sport, Sport Special Edition (SE) and Touring trims: Sonic Gray Pearl.

Inside, further enhancements to the class-leading style and sophistication of Accord’s cabin include an 8-inch Display Audio touchscreen entertainment system now standard on all trims (previously, EX and above). Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration also are now standard (previously EX and above), and EX-L and Touring trims (EX and above on Hybrid models) get new wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration.

The combination of wireless charging and wireless smartphone integration eliminates the extra step of physically connecting the phone, making Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ ready to go and freeing up an additional USB port for charging a separate phone. Front USB ports on all grades have been moved to the front of the center console for easier access, and Sport and higher trims (EX and higher trims for Accord Hybrid) now include dual 2.5-volt USB ports for rear seat passengers.

All Accords also receive a new Rear Seat Reminder, while upper grades gain a new Low Speed Braking Control system.

ACCORD HYBRID
The 2021 Accord Hybrid benefits from updates to the innovative Honda two-motor hybrid system for a more direct and immediate throttle response with a more natural acceleration feeling as engine revs climb in concert with the driver’s throttle input. With a peak total system output of 212 horsepower and peak torque delivery of 232 lb.-ft. right off idle, Accord Hybrid has the most power and torque in its class, with a top fuel economy rating of 48 mpg1.

Thanks to the unique configuration of the two-motor hybrid system, the Accord Hybrid also can spend more time operating solely on electric power than competing hybrid models, imbuing Accord with a smoother and more refined driving feel. Also, Accord’s sophisticated brake-by-wire technology offers more natural and consistent braking performance and pedal feel versus competing models, seamlessly blending mechanical and regenerative braking force.

Honda’s two-motor hybrid system uses a propulsion motor and a generator/starter motor built with a patented Honda design made with magnets using no heavy rare-earth metals. This reduces magnet cost and weight, while also reducing reliance on rare-earth metals, helping avoid the often negative environmental impact of mining them.

The hybrid powertrain control system manages the power delivery between each component and seamlessly switches between EV Drive, Hybrid Drive and Engine Drive for maximum efficiency with no input from the driver. Accord Hybrid drivers can further maximize fuel efficiency, or power, by selecting between Sport, EV and ECON modes using the three buttons behind the push-button gear selector.

Already, Honda leads all full-line automakers in fleet-average fuel economy and low CO2 emissions according to the U.S. EPA, with 27 vehicles that received EPA combined fuel economy ratings of 30 mpg or higher.

Visually, Accord Hybrid adds its own unique touches to the styling updates made to the entire 2021 Accord lineup, including a blue H-mark on the grille and Hybrid badges on the front fenders and trunk lid. This year, Accord Hybrid Touring grade features 19-inch wheels, giving it an upscale and sporty appearance.

NEW SPORT SPECIAL EDITION
The Accord Sport SE is new to the lineup for 2021, replacing Accord EX 1.5T and expands on the popular Sport trim with additional sought-after features. The new Sport SE adds leather seats, heated front seats, a four-way power passenger seat to complement the addition of 12-way power driver’s seat, heated mirrors, Smart Entry, and remote engine start to the popular Accord Sport 1.5T grade. This is in addition to the already generous equipment on the Sport 1.5T, which includes dual rear USB ports, leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters, leather-wrapped shift knob, and an 8-speaker audio system. Visually, Accord Sport and Sport SE are distinguished from the other trims by a rear trunk lid spoiler, trim-specific 19-inch wheel design, LED fog lights, dark-chrome grille and chrome exhaust finishers.

POWERTRAIN AND DRIVING DYNAMICS
In addition to the updates made to Accord Hybrid’s two-motor system, the 2021 Accord’s two turbocharged engines receive updated engine management software for more linear and responsive throttle control. In addition, the 1.5-liter turbo has improved Idle Stop performance, with quicker engine start-up when the driver releases the brake.

A 192-horspower 1.5-liter VTEC Turbo® engine is standard in Accord LX, Sport, Sport SE and EX-L grades, while Accord Sport 2.0T and Touring are available exclusively with a 252-horsepower, 2.0-liter VTEC Turbo®.

The braking system has also been updated for smoother engagement, especially at low speeds such as in stop-and-go traffic and in parking situations.

SAFETY AND DRIVER-ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGIES
For the 2021 model year, all Accords receive a new Rear Seat Reminder and a rear seatbelt reminder as standard equipment. The Rear Seat Reminder chimes when the car is turned off, with a notification on the digital meter reminding drivers to check the rear seating area when exiting the car for children, pets or other precious cargo. The rear seatbelt reminder uses a warning on the digital meter to let drivers know if rear seat passengers have not fastened their seatbelts.

Accord Touring and Hybrid Touring trims now feature a new front and rear braking system called Low Speed Braking Control. Using sonar-based parking sensors, the new system can sense solid objects at low speeds, such as in parking situations, and warn the driver or apply the brakes to help avoid or mitigate a collision.

Honda Sensing® receives updates to Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Keeping Assist system (LKAS). For 2021, ACC now has smoother braking when following another vehicle, while LKAS offers more effective and natural lane centering. Additionally, the steering wheel and dash controls for ACC and LKAS now feature industry-standard icons.

The 2021 Accord targets a 5-star Overall Vehicle Score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), including the highest available rating of GOOD in all collision tests and SUPERIOR for frontal cash prevention. Also, the updated standard LED headlights have been designed to achieve a GOOD rating in the rigorous IIHS headlight standard.

Latinx Americans are Driving U.S. Homeownership Gains

SEATTLE, Oct. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Remarkable growth this half-decade has boosted the share of Latinxi households in the U.S. that own their home to its highest since the housing bustii. While recent signs are encouraging, a new

SEATTLE, Oct. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Remarkable growth this half-decade has boosted the share of Latinxi households in the U.S. that own their home to its highest since the housing bustii. While recent signs are encouraging, a new Zillow® analysis reveals remaining roadblocks on the path to equitable housing. 

Latinx Americans are a massive and diverse group, with more than 200 unique ancestriesiii among the 60 millioniv who live in the U.S., and their homeownership gains in recent years have far exceeded those of other groups. About 18% of the U.S. population identifies as Latinxiii, yet they have accounted for more than 60% of new U.S. homeowner gains over the past decadev. That growth has brought the Latinx homeownership rate to 48.9%, the highest level since 2008. 

This growth is even more striking when considered in the context of the housing bust during the Great Recession, when Latinx households took a disproportionately large blow. Less than 10% of all U.S. homes are in largely Latinx communities, yet 19.4% of all homes foreclosed upon between 2007 and 2015 were in these neighborhoods. After gains in the 1990s and early 2000s, this contributed to the Latinx homeownership rate falling to 44.1% in 2015 — the lowest since 1998ii

«While Latinx households have made recent gains in ownership, longstanding inequities in intergenerational wealth and other systemic barriers continue to impede Latinx Americans from reaching parity with the U.S. population as a whole,» says Manny Garcia, population scientist at Zillow. «Latinx home buyers are more likely to face challenges during the process, with financing the purchase often reported as a primary concern. Even within the Latinx community, wealth inequality could help explain the varying homeownership rates of people of different origins.»

Despite recent gains, the Latinx homeownership rate continues to lag more than 10 percentage points behind the rate for Asian, Native, Hawaiian and Pacific Islander households, and nearly 25 percentage points behind non-Latinx white householdsii. A disparity in household wealth is likely a major contributor. The typical Latinx household earns about 75% of the typical white household as of 2018, but that typical white household held more than eight times the amount of overall wealth. That means Latinx households carry a far greater share of their wealth in their homes, adding to the pain caused by the Great Recession. 

Those who more recently moved to the U.S. are less likely to own a home — perhaps explaining why the homeownership rate among first-generation Latinx Americans (46%) is lower than among other generations (50%) — as are those coming from less wealthy backgrounds. Latinx Americans of Spanish descent have the highest homeownership rate at 63%, while households headed by someone of Dominican descent have the lowest at 29%iii

Latinx buyers overall are more likely to be first-time home buyers — 56% report buying their first home, compared to 43% of buyers overallvi. First-time buyers face greater financial hurdles because they don’t have access to equity from a previous home purchase to help with a down payment and almost always (80% of the time) finance their purchase with a mortgage. Latinx buyers are denied by mortgage lenders at a higher-than-average rate and 65% say they are concerned about qualifying for a mortgage at allvi

To reach homeownership, Latinx buyers more often put other life milestones on hold because of the financial burden. More Latinx buyers than average report that the cost of housing delayed marriage plans (28% said so, versus 18% of all buyers), having children (29% versus 19%) and retiring (26% versus 19%)vi

Penélope Cruz, Ricky Martin, Salma Hayek, Zoe Saldana, Edgar Ramírez, and Alejandro Sanz Star in a Spanish-language PSA to Alert Voters to «Naked Ballot» Issue in Pennsylvania and 15 Other States

The PSA Urges Voters to Mail Ballots Correctly and ASAP

NEW YORK, Oct. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ —  Six of the world’s biggest Spanish-speaking celebrities star in a new ad to bring attention to laws that require voters in 16 states – including the important swing state of Pennsylvania -to insert their mail-in ballot into two separate envelopes in order to be counted. If the ballot is not inserted properly it is considered «naked,» and in…

The PSA Urges Voters to Mail Ballots Correctly and ASAP

NEW YORK, Oct. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ —  Six of the world’s biggest Spanish-speaking celebrities star in a new ad to bring attention to laws that require voters in 16 states – including the important swing state of Pennsylvania -to insert their mail-in ballot into two separate envelopes in order to be counted. If the ballot is not inserted properly it is considered «naked,» and in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, it is thrown away.  This «naked ballot rule» risks the rejection of hundreds of thousands of mail-in votes, which could significantly impact US election results.

In the spot, celebrities Penélope Cruz, Ricky Martin, Salma Hayek, Zoe Saldana, Edgar Ramírez, and Alejandro Sanz instruct voters on how to properly vote-by-mail, urging them to do so ASAP, ahead of November’s critical presidential election.

View the PSA here.

The ad was created by RepresentUs, the non-partisan anti-corruption and pro-democracy group — but is being released unbranded for the broadest possible public distribution. It has been shared free of charge to hundreds of civic and political organizations across the political spectrum — from the Republican National Committee to the Democratic National Committee; from the R Street Institute to Indivisible — to share with their supporters. As the coronavirus pandemic continues, more Americans than ever before are expected to cast their 2020 election vote by mail. The ad’s goal is to clarify the necessary steps voters who are mailing in their ballots must take to make sure they are accepted by their state’s board of election and counted.

«Naked ballots are the new hanging chads,» said RepresentUs co-founder and CEO Josh Silver. «The fact is that if you use the wrong pen color or don’t assemble your mail-in ballot correctly, your vote may not count. This is not a partisan issue; it affects all people planning to vote by mail. We’re grateful to this committed and talented group for making an eye-catching video so that everyone understands what they need to do to ensure their vote is counted.»

About RepresentUs

RepresentUs is the leading anti-corruption organization that is unrigging America’s broken political system. Co-Founded in 2012 by Josh Silver and Joshua Graham Lynn, they are leading a non-partisan movement of Americans dedicated to putting power back in the hands of the voters. Corruption and a rigged system have halted progress on the issues that Americans care most about, from healthcare to education to government spending.

Through the continued passage of state and local laws that fix our broken elections, fight against gerrymandering, stop political bribery, and end secret money, RepresentUs advocates for the federal passage of the bi-partisan American Anti-Corruption Act to restore a government that is once again by and for the people. To date, the movement has passed 114 transformative anti-corruption acts and resolutions in cities and states across the country—and in 2018 passed more anti-corruption reform than in any other year in America’s history.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and fast approaching flu season, there is a growing public health concern about a potential ‘twindemic’ – the spread of flu and COVID-19 at the same time.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and fast approaching flu season, there is a growing public health concern about a potential ‘twindemic’ – the spread of flu and COVID-19 at the same time. Health authorities say it is more important than ever to get an annual flu vaccine. To keep communities safe and healthy, L.A. Care Health Plan and Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan’s network of Community Resource Centers are offering drive-thru flu shot clinics across Los Angeles County – at no cost to plan members and the community.

The flu shot clinics will be held October 9 through November 14 at various locations from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. No appointments are necessary. Flu shots will be given on a first-come, first-served basis and are available while supplies last. Additionally, individuals aged 3 and older who get a flu shot will receive a $10 Ralphs/Food 4 Less gift card, also while supplies last.

«With so much focus on preventing COVID-19 infection for the last six months, we want to make sure people don’t forget about getting a flu shot,» said Richard Seidman, MD, MPH, L.A. Care Chief Medical Officer. «Contracting the coronavirus and the flu at the same time is especially dangerous since both affect the lungs, so we ramped up our efforts to fight the flu by making the flu vaccine widely available in a safe and convenient way

Health experts warn that the overlap of two respiratory illnesses could overburden the health care system, strain testing capacity, and increase the risk of catching both diseases at once. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urges people to get immunized against the seasonal flu by the end of October, especially those at higher risk of complications including pregnant women, older adults and young children. Individuals should check with their doctor if they have any concerns or questions about receiving a flu vaccine.

«With flu season approaching during COVID-19, there has never been a more important time for everyone to get a flu vaccination said Susan Fleischman, MD, Chief Medical Officer for Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan. «We are committed to helping community members to stay healthy, protecting them and their family and friends from the likelihood of serious illness.» 

To help increase awareness of the importance of the flu vaccine and the drive-thru flu shot clinics, L.A. Care and Blue Shield Promise have enlisted the support of partners committed to keeping our communities healthy, including: Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis, SoCalGas, Los Angeles Football Club, Exposition Park, Los Angeles County+USC Medical Center, East Los Angeles College, Weingart YMCA Wellness & Aquatic Center, Cardenas Markets, The Wellness Center at the Historic General Hospital, and Antelope Valley Partners for Health.

«SoCalGas is committed to supporting the communities we serve and our community partners like L.A. Care Health Plan and Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan, during this challenging time,» said Brian Prusnek, Director of Customer Programs and Assistance at SoCalGas. «Taking health precautions like getting your flu shot is as important as ever. We also want to encourage our customers to take care of their financial wellbeing during this time by checking out our customer assistance programs. Information will be provided to those who attend the flu shot clinics on our customer assistance programs which can help customers save money and conserve energy.»
