Next Wednesday, March 30th, help us declare independence from Wall Street!
We have two very important hearings coming up about Ted Wheeler's virtual state bank: one in the House Rules committee, and another in the Senate Committee on General Government, Consumer and Small Business Protection.
We need to pack the room. The Wall Street lobbyists will be at the hearings to attack the proposal, and they need to be met with a room full of Oregonians who believe there is a better way.
Please spread the word and try to be at the hearings. We have the opportunity to show the Senate, the House and the big bank lobby that we mean business! If you can, plan to join us for a full day of events. Here's the agenda for WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30th:
11:30 am - 12:30 pm: Pre-hearing briefing
State Capitol, 900 Court Street Northeast, Salem, OR
Conference Room 350
Find out what to expect in the hearing, where the bill stands, and what we plan to do to mobilize support for--and counteract big bank opposition to--the bill.
1:00 pm: Senate Hearing on the Ted Wheeler's "virtual" state bank proposal (SB 889)
State Capitol, 900 Court Street Northeast, Salem, OR
Hearing Room B
We need to PACK the room! We will have expert testimony lined up to discuss the proposal and to represent Oregon's community advocates, small businesses, and family farmers.
3:00 pm: House Hearing on the Ted Wheeler's "virtual" state bank proposal (HB 3452)
State Capitol, 900 Court Street Northeast, Salem, OR
Hearing Room 50
5:30 - 7:30 pm: Social Gathering and De-briefing
The Ram Restaurant and Brewery
515 12th Street, Salem, OR
This will be an informal gathering hosted by the Mid-Valley chapter of the Working Families Party. Everyone is welcome!
