This week: Congress back in session, work begins on tax legislation

Congress is back in session after its spring break, and reports suggest the House Ways and Means Committee is aiming to mark up its tax legislation in two weeks. Engagement in the Don’t Tax My Credit Union campaign is at a critical juncture and America’s Credit Unions will continue to lead a unified tax advocacy strategy among credit unions, leagues, and other industry partners to ensure the credit union tax status is protected.  

Learn more about the Don’t Tax My Credit Union campaign. Whether it’s sharing a personal story via the Social Media Toolkit, contacting lawmakers, or writing op-eds and letters to the editor, engagement in these grassroots advocacy efforts will further amplify the credit union difference among decision makers.
