As many of you know, I have been involved in getting A New Way Forward off the ground and working to re-organize the banking system. They are kicking off a series of forums and town hall meetings next week for Americans to learn about the crisis and get involved in making the system more decentralized and progressive. The first is Monday, June 8th at 7 PM EST in NYC with my friend Leo Hindery, Les Leopold, and Alice Kessler-Harris. It's at The Tank in NYC, a great non-profit performing arts space where I have one of my most fun and interesting book events, and I'll post the video here. You should go if you are in the city.
If you're in DC, on Thursday June 11th at 9 AM, I'll be doing my part at a discussion right at the heart of it, on Capitol Hill at the Rayburn House Office Building (the Gold Room, Room 2168A). Joining me will be Simon Johnson, Nancy Cleeland, and John Taylor. RSVP here.
You can also organize your own video screening or town hall meeting with their help. On a problem this big, with the banking lobby probably the most powerful in the country, we're only going to make progress if we generate momentum everywhere.
