As federal support for climate and infrastructure shrinks, cities are turning to bold tools to build local economic power. Public banking is one of them.
Join us for a virtual roundtable, featuring our very own Trinity Tran, on how public banks can support guaranteed income programs and help build more inclusive, community-rooted economies. The event will spotlight new research from the Institute on Race, Power and Political Economy at The New School and feature leaders in public banking, economic justice, and guaranteed income.
