FreedomWorks Joins Free-Market Groups to Sit Down With Fed Chair, Janet Yellen

FreedomWorks’ Outreach Director Deneen Borelli will join leaders from a number of free-market groups for a sit-down with Janet Yellen, the Chairwoman of the Federal Reserve. The meeting was organized by American Principles in Action, who sent a letter to Yellen requesting the meeting after she met with progressive groups in 2014.
The meeting will take place on Friday, February 27, 2015 at 3pm ET at the Board of Governors HQ at 20th and Constitution Avenue in Washington, DC.

Deneen Borelli commented:

“I’m pleased to have the opportunity to discuss America’s monetary policy with the Chairwoman, and looking forward to a productive conversation about how economic distortions stemming from Federal Reserve policy negatively affect millions of Americans nationwide. If the Federal Reserve is going to meet with progressive groups, they must hear alternative viewpoints from free-market groups as well. Fortunately, we have the facts on our side.”
