“I am proud that Int. No. 54, my financial literacy education bill for the Department of Youth and Community Development, has been passed today. This bill is a step in the right direction to end intergenerational poverty to build a more inclusive economy—providing real economic opportunities for all, which requires collaboration and intentionality. The City is overdue in focusing on the fiscal and financial tool kits our youth can utilize to be productive citizens, and my bill will create courses and programs that provide the skill-building our youth needs for economic stability and success.”
