Our written testimony in support of S665/H1223, “An Act to Establish a Massachusetts Public Bank” is available here.
This is the document that will give you a deeper understanding of
- why a public bank is needed in Massachusetts,
- how proposed legislation will support the Commonwealth’s small businesses and the community and economic development agencies that provide new entrepreneurs with financing,
- the connection between public banking and economic justice,
- and how a Massachusetts public bank can support a thriving state-chartered bank community.
We hope it inspires you to make the call to your state Representative and Senator to urge them to co-sponsor H1223 and S665!
