What would a public bank option do for Columbus?

The Public Banking Institute, with Ohio sponsors and advocates, invites you to explore and learn about the Public Banking Movement.

When investments from private banks do not meet critical needs in our community for affordable housing, for green infrastructure projects, or provide adequate credit for small retail businesses, the growing market for local food systems, renewable energy, and more, the public bank option is an alternative that is being explored in states and cities nationwide.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the profound injustice at the core of so many of our economic institutions. The need for a municipal public bank, mission-driven to invest in public priorities, offers many potential benefits.

Join us for an introduction to public banking. There will be plenty of time to ask questions of Ohio advocates as well as a seasoned expert from the Public Banking Institute.

This event has been sponsored by the following organizations.

• American Independent Business Alliance (AMIBA)

• Ohio Sustainable Business Council (OSBC)

• Regionomics

• Simply Living

• Support Ohio Local Economies (SOLE)

• Sierra Club’s Ready for 100 Campaign
