DESCRIPTION:Join us in promoting a public bank for the City of Oakland!\n\nThe Friends 
 of the Public Bank of Oakland was formed by members of Commonomics and 
 Strike Debt Bay Area in August, 2016.\n\nIn November, we succeeded in 
 getting the Oakland City Council to instruct the City Administrator to 
 report on the usefulness of a feasibility study for creating The Public 
 Bank of Oakland. Our next goal is to convince the City Council to 
 commission that study as soon as possible, and incorporate it into a 
 business plan for a public bank in Oakland.\n\n(The City of Oakland is 
 planning a public forum on public banking in Hearing Room 3 of Oakland City 
 Hall, on Thursday, February 9, 2017, at 7:00 p.m., in City Hall (14th and 
 Broadway, downtown Oakland), Hearing Room 3 - Come and support creating our 
 bank!)\n\nAfter the Administrator's report, we will lobby the Oakland City 
 Council to pass enabling legislation that will create and fund a public 
 bank for Oakland. Our overarching goal is to see a public bank flourish in 
 Oakland while it helps the community, thereby providing an example for 
 other jurisdictions wishing to rid themselves of their dependence on Wall 
 Street banks.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2017/01/07/18795194.php
