Oregon State Bank “Systemic Change — the Good and the Bad: Public Banking and the Trans Pacific Partnership”
Saturday April 20, 7:00 pm
First Unitarian Church, 1011 SW 12th Avenue, Portland, OR
Jared Gardner, co-director of Oregonians for a State Bank and Alliance for Democracy’s Ruth Caplin will speak on establishing public banks in Oregon; Washington, DC; and Massachusetts. Arthur Stamoulis, Executive Director of Citizens Trade Campaign, will speak on the Trans Pacific Partnership.
This will be a great opportunity to plug into both or either of these two campaigns – creating a public banking system in Oregon and across the United States and opposing the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) – and to learn how the Trans Pacific Partnership, which is the first so-called free trade agreement President Obama has negotiated and has been called NAFTA on Steroids, might undermine our ability to establish a public banking system.
Admission: $5-20 donation requested but no one turned away for lack of funds.

What We're Reading Owning our Future: The Emerging Ownership Revolution, by Marjorie Kelly.
“Of all the important elements lacking from progressive thought, ownership design is perhaps the most foundational. Kelly nails it in a way that can drive it home to everyone. This is the most thorough and properly nuanced treatment of the subject I’ve seen anywhere. Kelly is a brilliant writer.” — David Korten, author, The Great Turning and When Corporations Rule the World
