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 how economics works equips people with the knowledge they need to make informed financial decisions and understand the world around them.  

In our state, [DESCRIBE RESOURCES AVAILABLE OR LACK THEREOF]. Economic education should be a regular aspect of K-12 education. It is just as essential as math, reading, history, and science.  

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]
