When people feel financially unstable, they are less likely to trust institutions, believe systems work for them, or feel hopeful about collective solutions. Economic stress can deepen disengagement and zero-sum thinking. Galvanize USA’s economic education videos address economic anxiety by 1) validating the real and perceived financial pain that people are experiencing, 2) strengthening support for an inclusive social safety net that supports working families, and 3) offering practical resources and advice that help them move from a state of fear and uncertainty to agency.
Many of our videos are available in 15 and 30-second versions. Share whichever you prefer!
