Standing room only in 93°+ degree heat at our Public Banking Community Gathering in Sacramento and the room stayed packed. That’s what public banking momentum looks like!

Huge thanks to our speakers Tristan Brown (CFT – California Federation of Teachers), Dawn Basciano (Women Democrats of Sacramento County), Dr. Flo Cofer (Sacramento Climate Coalition), Faye Wilson Kennedy (Poor People’s Campaign), and California Public Banking Alliance’s Trinity Tran for breaking down why California needs a publicly owned bank, and to our dozen co-hosts CFT, Women Democrats of Sacramento County, Sacramento Climate Coalition, 350 Sacramento, Third Act Sacramento, Indivisible Sacramento, Environmental Council of Sacramento (ECOS), Coalition Against Project 2025, The Greenlining Institute, and End Poverty in California for helping make this happen. Sacramento showed up for their communities by demanding to keep our public dollars local.

The state bank campaign keeps moving. More soon!
