I was at the vigil organized by community members from gun violence prevention groups tonight at #Seattle Center. Some folks came and heckled @mayor.seattle.gov. Friends. I know you’re angry and scared. But if I may, let me offer you some better people to yell at. Yell at me. And I can say why 🧵

Bob Hasegawa's tireless (now 18-yr) commitment to build a majority for public banking is inspiring. North Dakota is currently the only state with a public bank, but Washington may soon become the 2nd... ...and also the 1st to create its own ✨state-based alternative✨ to the FDIC in the process.
