SF's housing crisis needs new tools. As @thomasmarois.bsky.social lays out, Prop B paves the way for a public bank that lends for public good. Think low-cost loans for affordable housing. Finland's public bank puts nearly half its lending there. CA cities can too!

San Francisco will be deciding on the future of a new #municipal #publicbank. There are good reasons to vote 'Yes'.

SF voters will decide this Nov if the city should lay the groundwork for the nation's 1st municipal public bank! Prop B would let SF keep tax dollars local to fund affordable housing & small businesses directly, all without raising taxes.

Davidโ€™s longtime friend Jim Reed wrote the tribute below, โ€œAn Ode to David Cobb.โ€ Davidโ€™s partner, Ruthi Engelke, asked that it be shared with our community: m.facebook.com/story.php?st...

David was a force to be reckoned with, inspiring us with his post-capitalist ideals & unwavering belief in what democracy could become.

@capublicbanking.bsky.socialSep 9, 2026, 2:51 AM

Throughout his career as an activist, movement builder, and Peopleโ€™s Attorney, David worked across the movement, from The Democracy Collaborative, where he served as special advisor and fellow, to the Green Party, where he ran for president in 2004, to the U.S. Solidarity Economy Network.

David gave over 30 years to social justice and the fight for democracy. He was more than a core part of this Alliance: our Onboarding Director, North Coast Regional Rep, and comrade since 2019. His fingerprints are on so much of what weโ€™ve built. (2)

Weโ€™re heartbroken to share that David Cobb passed away on Labor Day. His heart gave way during his usual beach walk, one of his favorite ways to clear his head and take in the world he fought so hard for. (1)

Hella Bees in Oakland was buzzing on Thursday as East Bay and SF community members came together to talk about how public banking could change their lives. EPIC, SF Public Bank, Public Bank East Bay & CPBA co-hosted, and it got people asking how to support Berkeley's Measure Z and SF's Prop B. ๐Ÿฆ ๐ŸŒŽ

Public banking is on the ballots in San Francisco! Yes on B! ๐Ÿฆ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ
