With hundreds of community bankers meeting virtually with congressional offices this week, ICBA today is urging community bankers nationwide to send grassroots messages to their members of Congress.

Grassroots: ICBA is focusing today’s grassroots outreach on personalized messages to lawmakers via its Be Heard action center. ICBA will follow up tomorrow with a campaign of phone calls and Wednesday with social media outreach.

Event: The grassroots messages complement this week’s ICBA Capital Summit virtual event, for which community bankers can still register. The event will include remarks from Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), Senate Banking Committee Chairman Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), and other top policymakers.
