Next week weâll kick off October by beginning what will hopefully end up being a complete reading over the coming months of a true classic: Raoul Vaneigemâs The Revolution of Everyday Life. One of the high water marks of Situationism, a profound influence on âsecond-waveâ/type 3 anarchisms, and an under-acknowledged example of egoist thought, this is a reading Iâm very stoked to discuss with all of you. Each and every page of this text gives us ample material to unpack, so for this first reading letâs go from the introduction through the first section of âThe Impossibility of Participation: Humiliationâ â in other words, stopping at the section titled âIsolationâ. Looking forward to hearing everybodyâs thoughts on this seminal howl of revolt and refusal!
It is the mission of Public Bank East Bay to provide community oversight and stewardship in the formation and functioning of the Public Bank of the East Bay to base its decisions on the values of:
Equity
PBEB is committed to a public bank which acknowledges and attempts restitution of the  historical burdens carried by disenfranchised communities, including  communities of color and many other marginalized groups.
Social Responsibility
Decisions regarding who gets loans, what projects get invested in, and who benefits should take into account investing our money into the wealth and health of local communities and the environment.
Accountability
The bank is accountable to the  residents of the East Bay, who have a right to fully transparent explanations of  the Bankâs actions and choices.
Democracy
The bank will be governed using  democratic processes which consciously and intentionally adhere to the values/principles listed above.
