grassroots
Leveraging the power in numbers.
We support the credit union cause by directly connecting your supporters to state and federal legislators. We are dedicated to educating elected officials and their communities about the credit union difference, as it is extremely valuable to our movement’s political voice.
Political action committee
Raising money for League PAC is crucial to the success of our member credit unions and their members. PAC stands for Political Action Committee. PACs are organized for the purpose of raising and spending money to elect and defeat candidates. Most PACs represent business, labor or ideological interests. The California and Nevada Credit Union Leagues have registered Political Action Committees. They raise contributions from credit union leaders and members, and contribute to candidates at the local, state and national level who support credit unions.
2023 Advocacy Regional Meetings
At the start of 2023, the California Credit Union League hosted five virtual regional advocacy meetings to continue building upon our grassroots strength and credit union advocacy efforts. These meetings took place via Zoom and included briefings from the League’s advocacy team on the region’s legislative slate, upcoming event opportunities, the importance of our political action committee (PAC), and legislative priorities.
