Your Story Matters — Make It Heard at Your 2026 Credit Union Day at the Capitol 

Posted by on November 13, 2025

Capitol Buildings

Advocacy is job one, and every lawmaker conversation begins with a story. No story is more powerful than yours: it’s one of people helping people, members building financial strength, and communities growing stronger through local impact.

Your Credit Union Day at the Capitol is your chance to bring that story, along with relevant data and policy asks, directly to the people who make decisions that affect your members, your teams, and your community. When credit union advocates show up, lawmakers listen — and relationships are built that shape policy for years to come.

At each state’s Credit Union Day at the Capitol, you’ll join your fellow credit union advocates for:

  • Conversations with lawmakers on relevant policy and credit union priorities
  • Insights from state leaders on key policy issues and legislative priorities
  • Advocacy training to help you tell your credit union’s story effectively
  • Networking and collaboration with credit union peers from across your state

Whether you’re new to advocacy or a seasoned participant, your presence helps amplify the collective voice of credit unions — and ensures that lawmakers understand the difference credit unions make in every community they represent. This helps shape policy decisions, pass vital legislation, and prevent the passage of harmful laws and regulations.
