We’ve made it easy to reach out to your federal lawmakers and keep them aware of key issues and legislation affecting credit unions. With pre-composed emails that highlight our stance on a variety of issues, we ask for their support or opposition. It’s an easy way to make your voice heard.
Right now, addressing affordability is a top priority for President Donald Trump and Congress. But several efforts underway would reduce access to safe, affordable credit and ultimately harm consumers' financial well-being. For resources, including talking points and data, related to proposals to cap credit card interest rates at 10% and impose government mandates on credit card processing, visit our Member Activation Program.
Who should participate? Some issues require large-scale engagement while others are more targeted. We use the terms Grassroots and Grasstops to distinguish the two.
Grassroots is an advocacy strategy to motivate as many members/consumers as possible to directly contact their lawmakers, ensuring the message is “heard loud and clear on Capitol Hill.”
Grasstops advocacy is a targeted approach that focuses on specific groups, like CEOs and Board Members, to contact their lawmakers or specific committees.
