Public Banking Institute Year-End Update: December 12, 2017<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

2017 has been<\/h3>\n

The Year of a Major Shift<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

Today, we are delighted to see\u00a0the following states and cities move forward quickly toward establishing a Public Bank. After years of\u00a0educational outreach and tireless work,\u00a0PBI has been fortunate to make presentations, meet with legislators, or provide guidance and resources to almost all of these efforts.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re hoping you will continue your much appreciated support with a year-end contribution so we can advance our work in the important year ahead:\u00a0http:\/\/www.publicbankinginstitute.org\/donate<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

San Francisco<\/a>\u00a0could become the first city in the nation to establish a Public Bank. Supervisors\u00a0Malia Cohen and Sandra Fewer are rapidly advancing the idea and applications are open now for the City’s\u00a0Task Force.<\/p>\n

PBI met with LA City Councilmembers<\/a>\u00a0as the City implements their resolution to divest from Wells Fargo. PBI also made central presentations in a powerful\u00a0Bring On the Power of a Public Bank: People’s Forum<\/a>\u00a0in May, which led to more advances. We’ve been working with many strong grassroots groups\u00a0Bernie Sanders Brigade<\/a>,\u00a0Yes CA Public Bank<\/a>,\u00a0Divest LA<\/a>,\u00a0Revolution LA<\/a>, and\u00a0California for Progress<\/a>.<\/p>\n
