This April, countless Americans, organizations, nonprofits and other stakeholders are marking Financial Literacy Month by raising awareness on the importance of financial literacy and promoting tools and resources to help more individuals and families develop and maintain healthy financial habits. As co-chair of the House Financial and Economic Literacy Caucus, U.S. Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03) is working hard in Congress to ensure even more Americans can build a brighter financial future.
Coinciding with the month-long initiative, Beatty recently introduced a resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives, H.Res. 275, to recognize April as ‘Financial Literacy Month.’
“Every day, Americans are faced with important financial decisions that have far-reaching effects on their lives, their families, and financial future. That is why promoting financial and economic literacy is so important,” Beatty said. “Financial literacy is a lifelong journey, and every American needs to understand the basic principles of planning, saving, and investing for the future.” Beatty continued, “In that spirit, I am proud to work with Congressman Stivers, the Jump$tart Coalition and many others—before, during, and after Financial Literacy Month—to equip Americans of all ages with the much-needed tools, skills, and know-how to achieve financial independence.”
Throughout the month of April, Beatty will be promoting Financial Literacy Month, so please be sure to visit her Facebook and Twitter to see, hear and learn the latest. Also, do not forget to join the conversation online by using #FLM2019.
