Invitation to Rally for the New York Public Banking Act (S.1762-A/A.5782)
RALLY! Fight Back Against Wall Street, Fight Forward for a Just Recovery!
Dear friends and supporters of WESPAC,
Across New York, communities are calling for local public banks to help lead a just recovery.
Join us on Tuesday, April 13th, 2021 at 1 p.m on Facebook live to rally in support of the New York Public Banking Act (S.1762-A (Sanders) / A.5782 (Pichardo)), a transformative bill that would create a framework for the creation of local public banks dedicated to advancing racial and economic justice.
Through public banking, communities can divest public money from predatory Wall Street banks that harm New Yorkers and New York communities, and invest in cooperative and community-led economic development, including permanently affordable housing, small and worker-owned businesses, community-controlled renewable energy, and more.
When: Tuesday, April 13th 2021 at 1 p.m.
Where: Facebook livestream
Who: Co-sponsored by the NYS Community Equity Agenda, Public Bank NYC, and the Rochester Public Banking Coalition
Speakers: NYS Senator James Sanders, Jr.; NYS Assemblymember Victor M. Pichardo; Hae-Lin Choi, Communications Workers of America; Stanley Fritz, Citizen Action of New York; Sarah Ludwig, New Economy Project; Melissa Marquez, Genesee Co-op Federal Credit Union; Brendan Martin, The Working World; and others.
In Solidarity,
Nada for WESPAC
