letter_to_membersNCBA started a campaign to find support for legislation that will provide resources to spur the expansion and formation of cooperatives in both urban and rural areas.
Representatives Chaka Fattah (D-PA) and three co-sponsors have introduced legislation in the US House of Representatives that has the potential to spur economic development and job creation through cooperative development.

Addressing economic development though cooperative development will advance the economic stability of local areas; increase the circulation of capital locally; and develop, attract and anchor new productive capital in urban and rural underserved communities.
