About This Lesson
Credit reporting and credit scores can quietly shape your financial future, affecting whether you can rent an apartment, buy a home, or even land a job. In this short introduction to AFT's Fight for Affordability campaign, AFT President Randi Weingarten explains why that three-digit number matters and introduces a new video series on credit reporting and scores.
Building on AFT's medical debt series, this Life Literacies resource breaks down how credit reporting works, what affects your score, and the steps you can take to strengthen your financial standing. It's for educators, union members, and anyone working to keep up with rising costs.
