Grassroots Advocacy

Political activity and participation in political campaigns are integral to the credit union movement and overall success of all credit unions throughout Alabama and Florida. The LSCU aggressively involves credit unions in the political process on the state and federal levels though its political action committees (PACs). The LSCU FedPAC (Federal PAC), CUPAC (Florida State PAC), and ACULAC (Alabama State PAC) are non-partisan PACs established and administered by the League. They are used as tools to support political candidates that support credit union issues of importance.

As the cost of campaigns rise on a yearly basis, more support is requested and needed by our allies in both state capitols as well as Washington D.C. Credit union participation in fundraising for all LSCU PACs could not be of higher importance. Credit unions and their employees can take advantage of the unique opportunity to have a voice in their future by making a personal contribution to LSCU FedPAC and corporate contributions to State ACULAC and CUPAC. The League encourages all credit unions to contribute because the future of the credit union movement depends on political victories supported by LSCU PACs.
