“I am Angela, an immigrant from Colombia. I was a nurse in my country. I came in 2020 and stayed because of the pandemic. Now I study English so I can have more opportunities. My dream is to become a nurse anesthetist.” Invest $15M in Adult Literacy Education. Pass New York for All. #LiteracyLiftsNY

Adult literacy is an economic strategy. If all adults reached a 6th grade reading level, U.S. income would grow by $2.2 trillion a year. In NY: • A HS diploma = 24% higher earnings • Strong English skills = lower poverty rates Invest $15M in Adult Literacy Education. Pass NY for All. t.ly/BszA5

The National Institutes of Health found that the greatest determinant of a child’s academic success is the mother’s reading level. March celebrates reading and women’s history. Continue to #SupportAdultLiteracy programs and help all students reach their full potential.
