Public Banking Then and Now
6pm - 8pm, September 16, 2013
Share Exchange, 533 5th Street, Santa Rosa, CA
The newly launched Sonoma New Economy Project in collaboration with the Public Banking Institute and the Share Exchange is thrilled to host Marc Armstrong, Executive Director of PBI. Our evening will include: a short documentary on the history of the Bank of North Dakota; some little known history of how colonial public banking helped achieve economic independence and stability during the formative years of our emerging democracy; and some discussion of the triumphs and inspirations as well as the stumbling-blocks and lessons from these examples of public banking that can inform our current local efforts to democratize our economy.
There's a ton of promo that needs to happen. Please start by putting this up on your facebook, forwarding to relevant email lists you are on, etc.
Does anybody have experience writing a press release? That needs to happen asap and I have too much on my plate this weekend to do that. The sooner we have it the sooner we can get the word out to traditional media outlets!
