DESCRIPTION:Sun, May 24, 2020: 10:30 am to 12:30 pm\nPublic Banking Gathers Momentum in 
 2020\n   Public Banking is a root solution that helps all other solutions 
 from healthcare and COVID-19 to a real Green New Deal. Public banks partner 
 with community banks and serve the interest of the public, not Wall Street. 
 The 100-year-old Bank of North Dakota is currently the only state bank, but 
 this year that could change. In fall of 2019 California passed a law that 
 established a pathway for public banks at all levels from municipal to 
 state. Now in 2020, due to the COVID-19 crisis, more possibilities have 
 opened up. The Public Banking Institute sent a letter to the Governors and 
 Treasurers of all states, outlining the steps that can be taken to both 
 deal with the short term crisis, and change the system for the long-term. 
 We’ll talk about the opportunities we have in front of us right now. \n   
 Laura Wells ran as the Green Party candidate for Governor in 2010 on a 
 platform of Public Banking and “Tax the Rich” by reforming Prop 13.

 Morning at the Marxist Library is a weekly discussion series inspired by 
 our respect for the work of Karl Marx and our belief that his work will 
 remain as important for the class struggles of the future as they have been 
 for the past. \n\nAbout the Institute\nThe Institute for the Critical Study 
 of Society at the Niebyl Proctor Marxist Library (ICSSMARX) was formed to 
 further the Library's goals of preserving our written heritage, as well as 
 supporting emerging struggles for racial and gender equality, and for 
 Socialism. The members of ICSS are active in different aspects of peopleճ 
 struggles in the Bay Area and globally. Some are affiliated with specific 
 political parties and tendencies, others are not. We respect one another, 
 but we do not necessarily agree on all issues. Accordingly, the opinions 
 expressed in our lectures, workshops, and publications are those of the 
 authors only and do not represent a group consensus on the issues 
 discussed. We are united, however, in our respect for the work of Karl Marx 
 and our belief that his work will remain as important for the class 
 struggles of the future as they have been for the past. As a group, we 
 continue to draw inspiration from the work of Karl Marx, including his 
 Eleventh Thesis on Feuerbach: \nThe philosophers have only interpreted the 
 world,\nin various ways; the point is to change it.\n
