BREAKING: Today 160+ community & labor orgs across NY sent a letter to @AndreaSCousins & @CarlHeastie calling for passage of the NY Public Banking Act this year. The Senate will decide this week whether to advance the bill. Grassroots action needed! 🧵 equityagendany.org/160-community-…

🚨URGENT ACTION ALERT🚨 The NYS Senate decides NEXT WEEK if they'll advance the NY Public Banking Act to a committee vote. Use this tool to email your legislators and tell them it's time to put public $ to use for the public good, not Wall St. greed. 👇 neweconomynyc.ourpowerbase.net/civicrm/petiti…

NY taxpayer dollars sit in private banks on Wall St where funds are invested in fossil fuel companies & private prisons. A public bank has the potential to transform our banking system, making it more equitable & accountable. Proud to join with @NewEconomyNYC & @PublicBankNYC

Incredible organizing by groups across the city and state is paving the way for #PublicBanking to invest in cooperative and community-led development. —@deydelrio at The Parodneck Foundation's Cooperative Democracy conference Watch the video: youtube.com/watch?v=pQ47Rw…

*Happening now*: @justfoodnyc's Sheryll Durrant dropping wisdom at Parodneck's "#Cooperative Democracy" conference: 'We need to fight for people's ability to grow their own food as a path to liberation.' @GC_CUNY

Spectacular panels for @parodneck 85th anniv on cooperative economics for racial Justice, building what DuBois called “an impregnable economic phalanx” & touching hearts. Cooperative work is hard & it’s how we #Undesign the extractive economy #jessicagordonnembhard #rebeccalurie

A great honor to co-present on the first panel at @parodneck 85th anniversary with Jessica Gordon Nembhard and Ken Wray looking at historical context for cooperative democracy and racial Justice.

With a strike threat looming and our contract expired, NYU adjuncts reached a tentative agreement with the university after fourteen hours of marathon bargaining early this morning. 1/

Almost two years ago, we introduced the Public Banking Act with @RepRashida. It’s time to give local governments the power to reinvest their dollars in their community rather than enriching Wall Street.

This morning the @bxfac and @LESPeoplesFCU continued our tour of closed bank branches on Southern Blvd with Assemblyman @KennyBurgosNY. Originally a #DollarSavings branch, @popularbank closed this branch in 2020. Now it’s a grocery store and the neighborhood has one fewer branch.
