People power for public banking! Huge shoutout to our amazing community coalition partners Inclusive Action for the City, United Parents and Students, ACCE Action, SEIU 721, and the Public Bank LA team! We took over LA City Hall with a full day of meetings, urging council offices to fund the Los Angeles Public Bank plan.
Our message was clear: The city has the opportunity to save over $1 billion a year in Wall Street fees and reinvest in our communities—affordable housing, clean energy, schools, and support for Black and Brown small businesses are all within reach. Let’s get those funds allocated and start building a future where our public funds work for LA’s working families.
Special shoutout to Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez for championing public banking, and to Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez for meeting with our advocacy teams and standing strong with us in the movement to support Main Street!
