The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the deeply rooted imbalances at the core of so many or our economic institutions. As Wall Street banks continue to exploit the crisis and exacerbate economic inequalities, we must advance toward a financial solution that will help us invest in our New York State. The need for a public bank that will generate revenue, with our community as its top priority, has never been clearer.
On January 28th at 6 p.m. Public Banking Institute’s Chair Ellen Brown, Chair Emeritus and Senior Advisor Walt McRee & Advisory Board member Amara Enyia, will be joined by NYS Senator James Sanders, Jr. for a virtual Town Hall: Bring on the Power of Public Banking for New York.
Our Special Guest is Eric Hardmeyer, President and CEO of the Bank of North Dakota!
They will be joined by NY elected officials, union representatives and public policy experts.
The Town Hall will be livestreamed on Facebook, where staff from PBI and Senator Sanders’ office will answer your questions in real time.
