For Day 4 of #AmericaSavesWeek, we’re focusing on rewriting the debt narrative. Debt doesn’t define you! It’s just one chapter in your financial story. As you work toward paying it down, remember: every dollar paid is progress and proof of your resilience. #ASW2026

This bill follows many key recommendations in Tzedek DC's report . We look forward to working with the full Council to make this bill into meaningful change in physical and financial health for DC residents! Read our report here: static1.squarespace.com/static/57056a9…
