We meet over Zoom. If you’d like to join us, and aren’t on our organizers’ list, drop us an email and we’ll send you an invitation.
If you would like to join the meeting early and get an introduction to the concepts of public banking, or more locally to who we are and what we do, please email us and we’ll see you online at 5:30.
WORKING GROUPS
Some of our working groups meet between organizers’ meetings, and others just confer by phone and email. You can come to our meetings and plug into any one of these:
- Search for Interim Board Members
Help us find interim board members for the Public Bank of the East Bay. We are building an Interim Board to facilitate the transition to an approved, operating Board of Directors.

If you would like to be on the Interim Board, or you know someone you think would be good, you can email us or use the contact page linked above. - Outreach to Organizations & Individuals
Help us with outreach (tabling at events, farmers’ markets, etc.) and spread the word about public banking! We also need help encouraging organization(s) to join us as supporters. - Fundraising Operations

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 Bank’s actions and choices.
Democracy
The bank will be governed using democratic processes which consciously and intentionally adhere to the values/principles listed above.
