Friend, say YES to an equitable recovery for California

Hi Friend,

Did you know that California has an infrastructure bank (IBank)? Well we do, and it could be among the most valuable tools to ensure an equitable recovery from pandemic-related economic devastation. 

Assembly Bill 310 would make IBank a public bank and enact key changes that would maximize its potential for the people of California. Not only would it provide life-saving loans for small businesses, but it would also mean a big boost for affordable housing by: 

• Buying up municipal debt, reducing cities’ borrowing costs and freeing up funds in the city budget for other priorities (like affordable housing).
• Issuing bonds that would finance affordable housing production directly.

We’re joining our partner organizations in making calls and writing letters to Sacramento saying YES to a more equitable recovery for California. You should join us.
