A resolution designating April 2025 as "Financial Literacy Month".

YourVoice.Now Summary

A month with a name, not a rule change — April 2025 was Financial Literacy Month.

The details

Your money, your bills, and your paperwork stay exactly the same. The Senate set aside April 2025 as Financial Literacy Month. That month has already passed. No funds move, no program starts, and no rule changes for anyone. You can skip this one. Senators backed the label with numbers on how people handle money. About 5.6 million households have no bank account at all. Another 19 million are "underbanked." They have an account but still use other services outside a bank. Household debt has grown by $3.89 trillion since the end of 2019. Student loan balances now top $1.6 trillion. The resolution also notes that 27 states require a personal finance course to finish high school. It asks schools, states, businesses, and the public to mark the month with their own events, but nobody has to.

Like reading a bill in plain English?

We're building an app that does this for every bill in Congress and lets you tell your reps how you want them to vote. We're a small team getting ready to launch, and we're trying to show investors that real people want this. Be one of them. Help us get it built. Leave your email and we'll tell you the moment the app is ready.

By default, we'll only email you once — when the app launches. Unless you opt in below, you won't receive anything else. We don't share or sell your email.
