Dear [XXXXXX] 

I am a resident of [YOUR STATE] and want to urge you to support economic education initiatives in your state! Currently, young people in our state do not necessarily receive an economic education. They graduate High School and must learn as they go. This leads to poor financial decisions that have a lasting effect on people’s lives. 

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]

Dear [XXXXXX] 

I am a resident of [YOUR STATE] and want to highlight the importance of economic education this #EconEdMonth! I want to thank you for ensuring students have access to an economic education. Currently, students are required to take an economics course before graduating. 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. 

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 to thank you for being a leader in the economic education space!  

Sincerely,  

[XXXXXX]
