I want to start--please send me the stuff--i have been brain-storming this type of approach for years, but until now, had not found a vehicle. I have alot of connections and am starting a consumer-oriented financial education biz as we speak, which will go hand-in-hand.

A green investor (financial adviser) has confirmed now that he wants to work with me to form a team to create a Common Good Bank in San Diego. I am giving a presentation in two days on banking choices and will use the 14 minute presentation from the website at some point during the 2 hour workshop. A local Fair Banking group that has been focused on getting banks to use more fair practices has lost some steam, so I am in the early stages of conversation with them. We will add information to what we already have on our website and link to the Common Good Bank website.

I'm one of three partners who are planning to open a worker-owned cooperative restaurant - a traditional New York style diner. We will be located in or near South Bronx, NY, one of the poorest neighborhoods in the country. We plan to create bilingual (English/Spanish) and multicultural space. I love the idea of this bank and would just love to be part of starting one in South Bronx. I invite you to look at our website and contact us if you have any interest or feedback about our venture. http://www.workersdiner.org

Cheers!
