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 cost and scope 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. Watch the video .\n\nAfter the 
 Administrator’s report, due on or about March 1, we will lobby the 
 Oakland City Council to fund the aformentioned study, and once that is out 
 (hopefully with a favorable set of recommendations) 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
