WHEREAS, credit unions are individual, independent cooperatives founded by people working together towards economic advancement, uniting people seeking a way to improve their future;
and
WHEREAS, credit unions call for the pooling of personal resources and leadership abilities for the good of the cooperative, encourage a regular habit of saving so those in need may borrow,

157 million members, associated through local, state, regional, and international organizations sharing the same commitment to serving credit union members; and
WHEREAS, credit unions are developing strong alliances that make financial democracy possible in many countries such as China, Poland, Russia, Ghana, Argentina, Ukraine, and the rest
of the world.
