Welcome to the Advocacy Community: A Space for Credit Union Champions

Advocacy is at the heart of the credit union movement. Yet the terms often associated with it, like lobbying, Political Action Committees (PACs), and grassroots, can feel overwhelming or unclear. That’s exactly why the Advocacy Community exists within The League Communities. This is your space to connect with peers, ask questions, share your experiences, and stay informed on the issues that matter most. 

The League’s advocacy work takes shape in two ways. Our lobbying team engages directly with lawmakers, building trusted relationships and offering guidance on legislation that affects credit unions. Their efforts help ensure elected officials understand how proposed policies play out in real communities. 

Just as important is grassroots advocacy. Lawmakers rely on hearing from the people they represent, and that includes you. When credit union professionals speak up, attend legislative events, or respond to action alerts, it creates meaningful impact. Your stories help connect policy to people. 

Inside this community, you’ll find opportunities to build confidence in your advocacy efforts, stay updated on legislation, and collaborate with others who care about protecting and promoting credit unions. Whether you are just getting started or have years of experience, there is a place for you here. 

We invite you to engage, participate, and bring your voice to the table. Together, we will keep the credit union message strong, informed, and influential. Join the Advocacy Community and be part of the conversation.
