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! cmarmitage.substack.com/p/no…

🚨 California Needs a State Public Bank! Federal cuts are slashing housing, climate & small biz programs. Nearly 40M Californians impacted! A State Bank keeps our money working in CA, lowering costs, protecting funds & expanding credit. Read our latest: bit.ly/CApublicbank

California just approved $1M in funding to keep #CalAccount moving forward — bringing no-fee, state-backed accounts to millions who've been left out of the financial system. No overdraft fees. No hidden charges. Just real access for working families.

🚨 LA faces a $1B deficit, yet billions go to Wall Street every year. Why bankroll big banks when we can build our own? A Public Bank would keep LA’s money local, funding homes people can afford, neighborhood businesses & climate-ready upgrades. Sign on: bit.ly/publicbankla1

Los Angeles faces $250B in wildfire damage, the worst disaster in U.S. history. Instead of paying Wall Street to rebuild, a public bank can keep our dollars local, funding homes, schools & small businesses. Let’s recover & rebuild for a more resilient LA. mailchi.mp/fd263ac68585/lawi…
