Capitol Eyes Temporarily Moving to a Monthly Message
The League has elected to temporarily change Capital Eyes from a biweekly to a monthly message for June, July and August. The League is continuing our advocacy activities with state and federal officials, candidates, and regulators, ensuring we will have valuable content for the less frequent summer editions.
Though you’ll hear from us less, this isn’t a time for credit union advocacy to go quiet!
Activists are encouraged to continue to:
- Reference the Advocacy Toolkit, which offers guides and ideas for Activists and credit unions to be effective advocates for The Movement.
-Be on the lookout for virtual or socially distanced FUNdraising WCULAF events this summer.
- Check The League's Conduit Authorizations page for credit union friendly candidates who are seeking support from account holders.
- Contact Tom Harrington, The League's Political and Grassroots Specialist with any questions or concerns.
