Credit Unions & Local Banking: How local lending helps build communities

Headquartered in downtown Durham, Self-Help is one of the nation's leading community development financial institutions with a certified low-income designation. What does this mean? How do cooperative, community development credit unions differ from other credit unions or banks? Kristen will discuss their social justice history, the responsible development work currently happening in Durham as well as public policy work across the nation, and how you can be a part of it. Are you a Self-Help member? Join us and share your own perspective! Suggested donations $5, no one turned away. RSVP: communecos@gmail.com
