Public banking moves forward! Los Angeles City Council voted 12-0 to approve the LA Public Bank today bringing us one step closer towards a pivotal phase to analyze and roadmap the impact of a public bank in our city. #PeoplesBank

Happy Election Day! 🗳️ Public banking’s in @FortuneMagazine today! Debbie Notkin breaks down Berkeley’s Measure Z, plus SF’s Prop B. Why hand our public dollars to Wall Street when we could invest in our own communities? The momentum’s growing!

LA runs LAX, one of the busiest airports in the world. LA runs the Port of Los Angeles, the busiest container port in the country. So yes, LA can run a bank. And City Council just took a big step toward making it happen. @StraightArrow__

Red state, public bank & it WORKS! @CNBC visits the 100 year old Bank of North Dakota. ND’s GOP governor is glad they have it & state bankers call it a tool for community banks. Keeping public money local isn’t left or right. It’s common sense!

Public banking hits the mainstream! @CNBC talks to North Dakota’s Republican governor who’s glad his state has a public bank, its bankers association head says local banks don’t see it as competition, and explores if other states can follow.

NBC LA talks to CPBA Exec Director Trinity Tran @tran_scends after the LA City Council voted to fund a feasibility plan on a municipal bank. Like LAX, LA Port & LADWP, it’d be a public enterprise working for Angelenos. Big win for @publicbankla! Watch👇

Big congrats to our ally Professor Michael McCarthy @its_mccarthy! His book The Master's Tools grew out of his work with Public Bank LA and just won 2 national awards. You can't fix democracy without fixing who controls the money. 🏦 news.ucsc.edu/2026/10/to-sav…
If California had a state public bank, we would've profited over $2B last year, $20B over the past decade, with no new taxes. Imagine what that could fund in our communities!

San Francisco will be deciding on the future of a new #municipal #publicbank. There are good reasons to vote 'Yes'.

Public banking is on the ballot in Berkeley! Measure Z would fund Public Bank East Bay through a six-year parcel tax, projected to raise $9M+ in its first year, the largest single investment in a regional bank.

This Nov, SF voters decide on a public bank, city-owned, could fund affordable housing, green energy & small biz. If it passes, SF is first in the US to do it. Tune in @KQED!

Standing room only in 93° heat at our Public Banking Gathering in Sacramento & the room stayed packed. That's what momentum looks like!
Huge thanks to our speakers & co-hosting orgs for making it happen. Sacramento showed up for their communities & our public dollars. More soon!

.@MichaelDTubbs Founder of @EndPovertyCA asks CA is the 4th largest economy, but for who?Poverty & homelessness are still high.
#AB2243 is about keeping money here and investing in people, education & small businesses.
Public Bank Los Angeles retweeted
Assemblymember @Ash_Kalra , joint author of #AB2243 says now more than ever, CA must close financing gaps for housing, infrastructure, climate & local economies. We need to reinvest taxpayer dollars, not send them to Wall St. to profit.
We must use public money for public good!
