Urgent: Endorsements Needed for Proposed Resolution to Create a Public Bank of Santa Rosa

[Shelly]

Dear Friends of Public Banking,

A very warm and Happy New Year’s greeting to you all. The Friends of Public Banking working group has been diligently working away and we have created a Proposed Resolution to Create a Public Bank of Santa Rosa. We ask for your immediate support in endorsing this Proposal. We are asking that the city fund a feasibility study for a Public Bank of Santa Rosa. You may read the Proposal in full and endorse it on our website at the following link:http://www.publicbanksantarosa.org/endorse.html

If link does not work, try: http://publicbanksantarosa.weebly.com/endorse.html

 

You may further show your support by signing our online petition, which also asks the city to support our recommendation to fund a feasibility study for a Public Bank of Santa Rosa.

​

These requests are urgent due to the fact that the Santa Rosa City Council will be conducting their annual Public Hearing for 2018/2019 Budget Priorities at their regularly scheduled city council meeting this Tuesday, January 9^th at 5:00pm at City Hall on 100 Santa Rosa Ave.

We would like to present a long list of supporters of both individuals and organizations for the Proposal at this meeting. It would be excellent if you could attend this meeting in solidarity to show resounding support in the request to fund the feasibility study this year. The more people who attend and speak to this request, the more likely it is that the council will approve the feasibility study. If you can attend, wear green and speak to the items in the Proposal that resonate most strongly with you. You can find the full city council meeting agenda at the following link for the January 9^th meeting item #16.1 https://santa-rosa.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx

May 2018 be the year that the City of Santa Rosa takes strong and direct action to establish a Bank of Santa Rosa.

To our collective best always,

Shelly Browning
