Dr. Ellen Brown - "Why We Need Public Banking"

Progressive Christians Uniting presents Dr. Ellen Brown in a talk and audience exchange as part of its ongoing commitment to calling for hope and action leading to a more just and compassionate world.

Dr. Ellen Brown is an author, attorney, public speaker, and advocate for financial reform, most prominently public banking. She is founder and president of the Public Banking Institute, a nonpartisan think tank devoted to the creation of publicly-operated banks. Her latest book is entitled "Banking on the People: Democratizing Money in the Digital Age."

Dr. Brown earned her law degree followed by a J.D. at UCLA where she was the editor of the UCLA Law Review. Her article for the law review on the topic of alternative medicine won praise in 1979 from California Chief Justice Rose Bird, calling it “an excellent and exhaustive review of case and statutory law.” She has written many articles and appeared on network and cable television, in prominent newspapers including the New York Times, and on internet programs and podcasts. Her earlier books are entitled "Web of Debt" and "The Public Bank Solution."

The Pomona Valley Chapter of PCU initiated the lecture series, Agenda for a Prophetic Faith, now in its 8th year. The programmatic theme of this series for the coming two years is Engaged Compassion. This emphasis has been inspired by The Compassionate Cities Project, led by Rev. Jan Chase, Minister, Unity Church of Pomona, and Dr. Laura Burgis, Trustee, International Charter for Compassion
