Public Banking in California: A Pathway to Community Wealth Building and Inclusive Local Economies

Please join Small Business Majority, The Central Valley Urban Institute, Asset Funders Network, Y&H Soda Foundation, and California Public Banking Alliance as we discuss the transformative potential of public banks in California. We will provide an update on the California Public Banking Act and its impact on local governments across the state. We will also discuss the opportunities for advancing public banking systems in cities and regions and the role of catalytic philanthropic investments in making this vision a reality.  

Topics of discussion include: 

• The benefits of public banking for local communities and small business
• The roadmap to establishing a public banking system throughout California
• Catalytic philanthropic investment opportunities to support public banking initiatives
