People from 39 states, plus supporters tuning in from around the world, joined our Public Banking Coast to Coast webinar!
@SenWarren talked about how public banks can provide low-cost lending for housing & infrastructure, create jobs & strengthen our communities.
As federal funding for states shrink, people are taking back control, building public banks owned by communities.

Our team came together to ground in our next steps to build the LA Public Bank! From living room strategy sessions to Zoom to City Hall, we’ve gone from an idea with no blueprint to a movement reshaping how cities think about money & power. Next, we build! 🔥
Big wins for LA. Read our latest! The Public Bank motion cleared committee + 7 councilmembers including Council President Harris-Dawson, are now putting funds behind it!
We just dropped our new State Bank brief & join our talk at Destination Crenshaw!

🚨 California Needs a State Public Bank!
Federal cuts are slashing housing, climate & small biz programs. Nearly 40M Californians impacted! A State Bank keeps our money working in CA, lowering costs, protecting funds & expanding credit. Read our latest: https://t.co/dZgSak0Sje
California just approved $1M in funding to keep #CalAccount moving forward — bringing no-fee, state-backed accounts to millions who've been left out of the financial system. No overdraft fees. No hidden charges. Just real access for working families.
🚨BREAKING: California State Budget includes $1M for CalAccount! The Legislature will move forward with implementing a first-in-the-nation fee-free public banking option for millions of unbanked & underbanked Californians.

CALL TO ACTION: Tell LA City Committees — Fully fund the Public Bank Plan! CMs Hernandez, Jurado & Soto-Martinez put up their own funds. Now Budget & Finance + Gov Ops must agendize & pass the motion.
Over 1K letters sent, keep the momentum going! https://t.co/9zpYPoQxiU

📣 How can Los Angeles do more to invest in affordable housing and save money? By establishing a Public Bank! We’ve got Council support, now we need to fund the study. Council needs to hear from you! Show up at City Hall or submit comment: https://t.co/gD1MHNzxOL

📣 We need you to speak up at LA’s budget hearings! The Public Bank plan will save money, invest in affordable housing & LA priorities, and prevent future deficits. We’ve got Council support, now we need to fund the study. Show up or submit comment: https://t.co/MZ4hmWbjTb
🚨 LA faces a $1B deficit, yet billions go to Wall Street every year. Why bankroll big banks when we can build our own? A Public Bank would keep LA’s money local, funding homes people can afford, neighborhood businesses & climate-ready upgrades.

Thank you for the shoutout @RashidaTlaib! “From Los Angeles to New York, for example, there are dozens of grassroots movements across our country building public options for finance.”

Los Angeles faces $250B in wildfire damage, the worst disaster in U.S. history. Instead of paying Wall Street to rebuild, a public bank can keep our dollars local, funding homes, schools & small businesses. Let’s recover & rebuild for a more resilient LA.

📢 Stand with us to push for LA's own Public Bank! LA wastes $1.5B annually on debt and banking fees. A Public Bank could redirect funds to generate up to $15B for community support!
