This could not have been done without the tireless work of dozens of organizers working with the California Public Banking Alliance: people power brought this bill to where it is.
Our thank-you list is almost as long as our endorsers list:
- The volunteer organizers who kept the engine running for months
- The volunteer attorneys who wrote the bill and managed the amendments
- The lobby teams who visited legislators’ offices in person
- The activists who came to the California Democratic Party convention to get delegate endorsements (resulting in the state party endorsement, 11 Democratic Central Committees endorsements, and 550 individual delegate endorsements)
- The members of state and local organizations who helped bring their (over 180!) endorsing organizations to the table, including labor, environmental organizations, and more
- The folks at home who wrote emails and made phone calls to legislators, and who supported the bill online
- The advocates who encouraged their (17!) cities and counties to pass endorsement statements
- The journalists who wrote positive articles
- And, OF COURSE, our indomitable co-authors, Assemblymembers David Chiu and Miguel Santiago, and their excellent, responsive staff members, plus the 19 co-authors who helped see this bill through to the finish line.
