OPERATION HOPE CEO JOHN HOPE BRYANT'S #1 AMAZON BEST SELLER 'FINANCIAL LITERACY FOR ALL' AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE TODAY

Bryant's 6^th book offers Americans a smart, effective approach to understanding money and achieving financial goals

ATLANTA, April 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --  Operation HOPE announced today that its Founder, Chairman, and CEO John Hope Bryant has released his sixth book, 'FINANCIAL LITERACY FOR ALL.' Upon its April 16^th release, the book received high praise, reaching #1 on Amazon for Business Finance, where it remains a best seller. The launch date also coincides with Financial Literacy Month, which focuses on improving financial education across America.

Bryant's reputation as a leading voice in economic empowerment is backed by his role as the CEO of Operation HOPE, a non-profit organization dedicated to expanding economic opportunity in underserved communities. A portion of the proceeds from book sales will support Operation HOPE's programming, which focuses on uplifting communities through financial education.

As the best-selling author of 'Up from Nothing,' 'Love Leadership,' and 'How the Poor Can Save Capitalism,' Bryant's new book will provide a powerful resource for everyday Americans seeking to build a stronger financial future. Part call to action, part inspiration, 'Financial Literacy for All' offers a roadmap to increase prosperity for individuals, families, communities, and our nation from one of the nation's foremost experts.

Using practical tools and tips, the book supports establishing a financial mindset that contributes to success and wealth – rather than debt and struggle – and helps to answer tough financial questions many Americans grapple with daily. Bryant also issues a call to action for public and private sector leaders to help bring financial literacy education to young Americans and working adults while outlining a plan that invites diverse individuals and organizations to join the financial self-determination movement.

With an insightful forward by Walmart CEO Doug McMillon, "Financial Literacy for All" addresses pressing issues such as understanding credit, budgeting effectively, and building wealth, all while emphasizing the importance of financial dignity and inclusion. Bryant's approach empowers readers to navigate the complexities of personal finance with confidence and purpose.

Tied to the book release, Operation HOPE is launching its "Campaign For America" where everyday Americans can advance financial literacy for themselves and their communities. The campaign is asking America to:

1. Sign the Change.org petition calling on Congress to ensure that financial literacy is taught in every classroom in America
