DESCRIPTION:PDA-CA SF presents a free public forum\n\nHaving learned from the 2008 
 financial crisis how much damage the big banks can do to ordinary people by 
 investing our money in things we don't want, like fossil fuels and weapons 
 of war, we are in the midst of a movement to create public banks that will 
 allow us to invest in affordable housing, renewable energy, and other 
 essentials for a society that shares and cares.\n   \nOur February forum 
 explores the history and progress of four Bay Area public bank projects and 
 how close they are to becoming a reality. We will also learn how we can 
 divest our money from fossil fuels and the war machine now, while waiting 
 for the public banks to become established. \n\nSpeakers:\n\nJACKIE 
 FIELDER, co-founder of the San Francisco Public Bank Coalition, lecturer in 
 the College of Ethnic Studies at San Francisco State. She holds a 
 Bachelor's in Public Policy & a Master's in Sociology from 
 Stanford.\n\nSUSAN HARMAN, having fallen in love with public banking 8 yrs. 
 ago, has been instrumental in getting the East Bay Public Bank through its 
 feasibility study and developing its business plan.\n\nJUDY YOUNG, a 
 follower of Ellen Brown's work with the Public Banking Institute for many 
 years, Judy works with the South Bay Progressive Alliance Public Banking 
 Action Team.\n\nLEE CLARK sees the work on a Public Bank as critical for 
 recovery from the severe financial crisis in the aftermath of the Santa 
 Rosa fires, for replacing city infrastructure, and for other social justice 
 uses.\n\nCYNTHIA PAPERMASTER will focus on divestment. She is coordinator 
 of the Golden Gate Chapter of CODE-PINK and a member of the Berkeley 
 Mayor's Task Force on Socially Responsible Banking, \n\n
