Original Air Date 12-7-2019 In the context of the devastating fire on Maui, we are replaying this throwback episode to look at the reaction to decades of the fetishization of privatization in the form of a reinvigorated movement for public ownership of institutions meant to serve the public such as utilities, banks, train systems and so on. But this isn't your grandfather's top-down public ownership, the new movement has bottom-up, accountable, democratic control of institutions at the very core of its mission. Be part of the show!

"I was born and raised in occupied Tongva territory aka the City of Los Angeles" is Heidi Kang's response when asked where she hails from? A member and organizer of the grassroots activist organization, Revolution LA, Heidi has been involved with various political and social justice movements such as Occupy, NoDAPL, Divest and more. An advocate for environmental, human, and animal rights and liberation, Heidi seeks to bridge the physical and unseen worlds together to amplify her service and causes she supports through her spiritual practice on the Red Road. On this episode of Nomadland podcast, Heidi discusses her involvement with Revolution LA, Urban Partners LA, Divest LA, and subsequent Public Bank LA campaigns, which led to the Public Banking Act #AB857 being passed in the State of California- a revolutionary and historic step towards economic liberty for the people and the planet.

Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill that lets municipalities sponsor public banks, and Los Angeles' City Council is creating a proposal for one. David Jette of Public Bank LA says this will help cities and counties invest in affordable housing and renewable energy.

On this episode, Mark Morris speaks with Madeline Merritt, Core Organizer for Public Bank LA and Member of California Public Banking Alliance. She speaks about the campaign supporting AB 857, The Public Banking Act, in an unprecedented partnership between the grassroots and lawmakers. She is a water protector and community organizer who seeks to transform global systems to put the long term interests of people and planet over the short term interests of the few.

We speak with Angela about what her organization does, how it relates to the current political climate and the importance of community organizing.This November, the citizens of Los Angeles will get the opportunity to vote on Charter Amendment B, a measure that, if passed, will create a public bank for the city. Public banks are an issue surrounded by much debate and controversy. Tonight, we speak with Chris Roth from Public Bank LA, an organization in favor of Amendment B. We will find out the ins and outs of public banks and see if it will truly be a benefit for the City of Los Angeles.

Trinity Tran from Public Bank LA joins me to talk about the latest developments in public banking in LA, specifically a ballot measure to amend the LA City Charter. A Yes on Charter Amendment B vote will pave the way for Los Angeles and California to structure and create public banks. While the vision of our public bank draws inspiration from many different public banking systems from around the world, Los Angeles is a unique city and we will need to work diligently with our elected representatives to create a viable bank. November 6th will be here sooner than you think, tell your friends, your coworkers, your barista, your server, your elotero to vote Yes on Charter Amendment B.

Trinity and David from Divest LA and Public Bank LA sat down to talk about the push for a public bank in the city of Los Angeles. After the meltdown in 2008 an incredible amount of malfeasance was uncovered, and almost none of it has been completely stopped. The Wells Fargo scandals, and there were many, spurred the city of Los Angeles to divest millions from Wells Fargo and showed the strength of community movements in pushing for definitive action. Activists driven by the struggle at Standing Rock have continued their push for financial reform. Faced with the idea that only large "too big to fail" banks were the only one capable of handling finances for the city they aimed higher by leading the push to create a public bank in the city of LA and supporting local movements across the country.
