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\nThe City of Oakland, with 
 our organizing help, held a public forum on public banking at Oakland 
 City Hall, on Thursday, February 9, 2017. At this meeting we will be 
 debriefing that forum, and moving in to high gear to respond to the Request 
 for Qualifications that Oakland put forth to obtain information needed to 
 report to the City Council in early March.\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\n
