PUBLIC BANKING ACT

 
Take action to bring public banking to New York. Fill out the form below to send an email directly to your state legislators urging them to pass the New York Public Banking Act (S1754/A3352). The bill creates a safe and appropriate regulatory framework for public banking, making it easier for cities and counties to establish public banks.
 
Public money for public good! Through public banking, we can divest public money from predatory Wall Street banks and reinvest in permanently affordable housing, small and worker-owned businesses, renewable energy, and other needs in low-income communities and communties of color. Check out the above video to learn more.

Tips:

  • Be sure to modify and personalize the template email provided in the text box below, including by adding your address to your signature so that your legislator knows that you reside in their district. (To expand the text box, drag the bottom right corner with your cursor.)
  • Explain why public banking matters to you and what a public bank could do to support you and your community (e.g. invest in affordable housing and renewable energy, support small businesses, expand banking access).
  • Please forward us any substantive responses you receive so that we can track the progress of our collective advocacy (send to ).
