Three WF supporters launch website to promote Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
February 25, 2021
MADISON, Wis. Worldwide Foundation for Credit Unions applauds Local Government Federal Credit Union (LGFCU), Civic Federal Credit Union and the African-American Credit Union Coalition (AACUC) for launching a website to advocate for the proposed 8th Cooperative Principle that is focused on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).
The site promotes DEI as an expansion of the philosophical tenets currently embraced by cooperatives globally. The values of diversity, or plurality as it is often understood outside of the U.S., equity and inclusion are ideologies already ingrained within the cooperative community. The credit union and AACUC leaders believe it is past time to declare these as guiding principles.
