PBS SoCal Coverage of NFEC’s Campaign:
Financial Instability as a Public Health Emergency

In September 2025, the NFEC launched a national campaign urging financial instability to be formally recognized within the public health emergency system – positioning financial education as a core component of preventive healthcare.

This effort was featured in a dedicated 30-minute PBS Southern California episode, where reporter David Nazar highlighted both the urgency of the crisis and the NFEC’s solution-driven approach. David is now considering follow-up episodes, and your support can help make that happen.

Please help us turn this initial PBS feature into a short series that expands national awareness and accelerates this movement.
