About This Lesson
The Fight for Affordability flyer shares the AFT campaign for people who feel stretched thin by everyday costs. This one-page item is a campaign overview, not a lesson plan. Its message is simple. You are not failing. The system is stacked against you. It calls out hospitals that overcharge, credit bureaus that sell your file, loan paperwork that goes missing, and buy-now-pay-later debt that piles up. It shares AFT member survey numbers on skipped bills and skipped medical care. Then it points to real help: plain-language guides, short how-to videos, and in-person clinics where you bring your bills and leave with a plan. Teachers can use it as a discussion starter in personal finance, economics, or civics. It fits high school, adult education, and professional development audiences. Add the AFT links so people reach the full guides, videos, and clinic finder.
