The Defense Credit Union Council (DCUC) is proud to launch the Defending Credit Unions Political Action Committee (PAC) and the Defending Credit Unions National Advocacy Fund. These initiatives are designed to protect and promote the interests of credit unions, particularly those serving military members, veterans, and their families. In today’s legislative and regulatory landscape, having a strong voice in our Nation’s capital is more important than ever.
Key objectives:
- Preserve our tax-exempt status: defend against ongoing threats from the banking industry seeking to strip credit unions of their tax-exempt status.
- Promote tailored regulation: advocate for fair regulations that recognize the unique, not-for-profit structure of credit unions.
- Support military families: ensure policies that help Defense Credit Unions continue serving the financial needs of military service members and veterans.

The success of these initiatives relies on the active participation of credit unions across the country. By contributing to the PAC and National Advocacy Fund, you ensure that credit unions have the resources to protect our mission and address emerging threats in real time.
