Chair Ellen Brown and Suzanne O\u2019Keeffe from Public Banking Institute were there in support. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Advocates were presented with a detailed plan that includes community outreach, political outreach, street art, field strategy into neighborhoods, and media. The campaign is designed to communicate the benefits of public banking, answer questions, and generate excitement around freeing the City from Wall Street and using the power of a bank to benefit the people of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cHow is the Wall Street system working for you now?\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0asked David Jette, policy director of Public Bank LA. \u201cThe current system is under no obligation to improve your living standards. That\u2019s why we should start a bank and start lending to ourselves! Let\u2019s build a bank that we actually want.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re sick and tired of Wall Street dictating our lives,\u201d said Trinity Tran, co-founder of Public Bank LA. \u201cWe\u2019re building alliances since Public Banking can be the cornerstone issue \u2014 something everybody is fighting for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This ballot measure won\u2019t create a bank but will remove a legal hurdle to creating one. It doesn\u2019t require the City to spend any money.<\/p>\n<p>Recorded live-stream of the meeting is available\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kasikora\/videos\/10156541302094419\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.
