Our not-for-profit structure and mission are under attack. Credit unions exist to serve people, not shareholders, and that difference is what makes us so impactful in our communities. But now, that model is being threatened. We’ve launched the Don’t Tax My Credit Union Resource Hub to help you stand up and speak out. This hub, which includes a video message from MCUL CEO Patty Corkery, gives you the tools to educate your team, rally support and most importantly, make your voice heard with lawmakers. https://lnkd.in/gh4XyFnH
