Katie BaileyInternational Credit Union Day is more than a celebration of our past. It is a reminder that protecting the Credit Union Difference requires ongoing action and advocacy. The strength of our movement depends on our collective voice and the continued support of those who understand and champion the credit union mission.
Why Advocacy Matters
Every decision made by elected officials impacts credit unions. From data privacy to regulatory requirements, these policies shape how we serve our members and strengthen local economies. Advocacy ensures that lawmakers hear from credit unions directly, allowing us to help shape legislation that supports financial inclusion and community growth.
The Power of Political Action Committee (PAC) Giving
In 2024, political giving across The League’s footprint exceeded $1 million. These contributions support candidates who understand the value credit unions bring to their communities. PAC support helps hold elected officials accountable, ensuring that our movement’s priorities remain top of mind at both the state and federal levels.
How to Get Involved
This International Credit Union Day, celebrate through advocacy by getting involved in The League’s initiatives. From making a PAC contribution to requesting a local proclamation recognizing Internation Credit Union Day, every action strengthens our shared voice and reinforces the impact of credit unions across our four states.
