Way to go Community Financial Credit Union! Supporting Women in need. Choose the Bear ****WALK WITH US   When asked whether they would prefer to meet a man or a bear, while walking in the woods, most women said… the bear. When 54% of women in America experience contact sexual violence and 47% suffer from Domestic Violence/Intimate Partner Violence, this eye-opening admission isn’t a surprise. Taken together with the facts that many women stay with abusive partners due to economic abuse and that up to 99% of domestic violence includes economic abuse, this ongoing status quo is unacceptable. Especially in a country that prides itself as the land of the free.    At Community Financial, we say enough is enough. As a not-for-profit credit union created to improve the lives of our local communities, to stand with people in the bright spots, the dark moments, and all the harried vibrations in between, we’re dedicating ourselves to helping women escape economic abuse and regain the promise of freedom that this country was founded on.  Changing their trajectory and improving their outcomes for the better.    Life’s true currency is love. And, together, we can change things for the better.    Walk with us. Choose The Bear™. Because the bear can help. **** https://lnkd.in/gi3-xCs8
