Standing room only in 93° heat at our Public Banking Gathering in Sacramento & the room stayed packed. That's what momentum looks like! Huge thanks to our speakers & co-hosting orgs for making it happen. Sacramento showed up for their communities & our public dollars. More soon!

Join us in Sacramento July 23 to talk building a California State Bank, money that could fund affordable housing & small businesses instead of bank fees. Hear from CFT, Sacramento Climate Coalition, Poor People's Campaign & CPBA! www.eventbrite.com/e/public-mon...

Coalition leads Move LA were proud to table at Culver City Pride, connecting with community members on Public Bank LA as a pathway to reroute public dollars back to Main Street, not Wall Street! Big shoutout to Lady Bushra for stopping by our booth and talking public banking with us. ❤️‍🔥

BIG! California’s State Bank Act #AB2243 cleared its 2nd Assembly committee & moving through the Legislature. CA sends billions to Wall Street in interest while communities fight for housing, infrastructure & investment. This bill starts changing that. www.theobserver.media/california/c...

Lawmakers Launch AB 2243 To Study A California Public Bank

California State Bank Act #AB2243 passes two committees! Thanks to Assembly authors @matthaneysf.bsky.social @ashkalra.bsky.social, Chair @AsmSolache, Chair @AsmValencia, committee members, and the California State Bank Coalition.

Big Earth Day launch for California State Bank #AB2343 with a strong statewide coalition. A bill for people & planet, putting the power of money back in CA communities. haney.asmdc.org/press-releas...

Assemblymember Matt Haney #AB2243 author says CA sends $4B/yr to Wall St in interest while facing housing & cost crises. That money could build homes. Why route funding through big banks? It's time for a California State Bank.

Assemblymember @ashkalra.bsky.social, joint author of #AB2243 says now more than ever, CA must close financing gaps for housing, infrastructure, climate & local economies. We need to reinvest taxpayer dollars, not send them to Wall St. to profit. We must use public money for public good!

Michael Tubbs, Founder of End Poverty in California asks: CA is the 4th largest economy, but for who?Poverty & homelessness are still high. A CA State Public Bank is about keeping money here and investing in people, education & small businesses.

Tristan Brown, Legislative Director for @cftunion.bsky.social, rep'ing 120K educators, calls compound interest the “8th wonder.” It builds wealth, but mostly for Wall Street. Teachers can’t afford to live locally. Public banking can invest long-term in housing & schools.

"The public bank grows its holdings by receiving interest payments from the city. The loops, then, are not redundant; they are kinetic. Far from an inert circuit, a public bank that purchases city debt is a dynamic design that defies the artificial gravity of austerity." 🎢 ➿

“...The question isn’t just is there enough money,” Tran said. “...who decides where our common dollars go today, how they’re used, and whether they stay in communities and benefit our localities, or... keep getting signed out to private institutions...” #CreatePublicBanksNow! #It'sOurMoney!
