Tuesday, March 2, 2-3:30pm, this on-line event requires advance registration

Establishing public banks that invest our $$ in the communities where we live has become a movement. Why? Cash-strapped cities and states need to invest in affordable housing, local businesses suffering from the pandemic, infrastructure projects, renewable energy, and more. In Columbus, one quarter of every tax dollar is allocated to service the debt — to repay the bonds borrowed from Wall Street investors. It’s safe, but expensive! We can do much better than that with a “public bank option.” As the Public Banking Institute likes to say, “It’s Our Money.”

Simply Living and the Ohio Sustainable Business Council are partnering to promote public banking in Ohio. We’re building a coalition of citizens and organizations who will advocate and spread the word about the benefits of public banks. If you missed the launch of our first Town Hall event on November 10, you can watch the recording here.

Join us on March 2 when we gather to plan a series of Town Hall events in 2021. Our goal is to broaden the base of our coalition to address urgent funding needs in order to revitalize our local communities.

Registration information for this event will be coming soon. E-mail <Chuck@simplyliving.org> to be notified when that information is available.

Hosted by Simply Living.
