Americans from all communities should be able to save, build wealth, and escape generational poverty, but doing so requires financial literacy. Should making financial literacy a core education requirement be a national priority? Is learning basic principles like budgeting and investing enough, or do deeper systemic barriers need to be tackled with more robust solutions? How can government and industry collaborate to ensure marginalized communities have access to the same digital financial tools? What steps can Congress and the administration take to even the playing field and expand access to financial literacy education?
Join POLITICO on March 21 as we explore how Congress, regulators, financial institutions, and nonprofits are working to improve financial literacy education for all.
