Sam Leichter from San Francisco, CA, Urges Congress to Pass the Elder Justice Act

As Program Coordinator of the Elder Financial Protection Network (http://bewiseonline.org/), Sam Leichter of San Francisco, California, speaks everyday with victims of financial abuse and exploitation who are often afraid of reporting abuses. Frequently, the abuse involves a family member and the victims don't want to get a loved one in trouble.

Sam's story is part of the Elder Justice Campaign, a national campaign to break the silence on elder abuse and pass the Elder Justice Act.
