See our post at Peace Couple for information and links on how to celebrate International Credit Union Day with the folks at Occupy Wall Street.
Today, October 20, 2011, move your money – savings account, checking account, etc. – to a credit union instead of a megabank. It’s easy! Moving your own money is a simple, subtle, empowering way to fight Wall Street, and to diminish the power of megabanks and megacorporations in our democracy.
“Credit unions are unique because they are not-for-profit, democratically controlled, member-owned cooperatives.”
You can find a database link to search for a credit union near you at the Peace Couple post, too: here
