Recap from the People’s Economic Forum

Thanks so much to the 75 folks who were able to attend the People’s Economic Forum, Part 1: Addressing the Housing Crisis and to the other 50 who signed up. The session was packed, with more information and reflections than any one mind could take in! Here are the slides and the recording is below.

Members of our coalition are now beginning to plan Part 2 of the People’s Economic Forum, in which we will look specifically at the Co-operative movement in Philadelphia and how a public bank could support projects of shared ownership in our city. We will announce the date soon, but in the meantime, please reach out to us (info@publicbanking.org) with your ideas and/or willingness to participate in the creation of the next Forum.

And with the municipal election season underway, remember to speak up to candidates and voters in support of a Public Bank for Philadelphia! Here is a simple Q&A resource about public banking.

Enjoy your holidays!
