Email Copy for Week 2

Dear [XXXXXX] 

I am a resident of [YOUR STATE] and want to highlight the importance of economic education this #EconEdMonth! Currently, young people in our state are not given all the tools they need to succeed after high school. Understanding the economy equips people with the knowledge they need to make informed financial decisions and understand the world around them.  

In our state, [HIGHLIGHT THE TOOLS/RESOURCES YOU USE WHEN YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE ECONOMY]. Economic education should be a regular aspect of K-12 education. It is just as essential as math, reading, history, etc.  

[HIGHLIGHT AN EDUCATOR OR ORGANIZATION WHO IS ALREADY DOING THIS WORK] 

This #EconEdMonth I want you to prioritize making sure every student in the state receives an economic education. I encourage you to [SUPPORT EXISTING BILL – SEE TOOLKIT] or support efforts in your state to make economics a requirement in K-12 curriculum. 

Sincerely,  

[XXXXXX]

Our schools are supposed to prepare young people for life after graduation, and I think understanding the economy and how to make the best economic decisions is critical. 

In our state, [ORGANIZATION/TEACHER/ETC WHO PRIORITIZES THIS WORK]. We want to encourage you to continue to support these efforts because an economic education should be a regular aspect of K-12 education.  

This #EconEdMonth I want you thank you for being a leader in the economic education space!
