Strata Credit Union

Credit unions exist to serve people, not profit—but now, their tax-exempt status is at risk. Some policymakers are pushing for changes that could jeopardize financial access for millions of hardworking Americans. In Saturday's issue of The Bakersfield Californian, Kelly F., VP of Community Relations, breaks down what’s at stake and why stripping credit unions of their tax-exempt status would hurt consumers, small businesses, and local economies. . . . . #CreditUnions #FinancialAccess #TaxPolicy #PeopleNotProfit #BetterthanBanks
