Endorsement: YaVette Holts Founder and CEO, Bay Area Organization of Black Owned Businesses

"The Public Bank of East Bay provides a crucial opportunity for businesses to have a voice in directing the residual benefits of municipal spending. Public banking means budget strapped cities like Berkeley and Oakland have an opportunity to ensure that the economic returns on redevelopment investment are directed to serve and support historically underserved communities. And that means fostering equitable opportunities and prioritizing a restorative economic landscape for Black Owned businesses for the benefit of all."
