Ellen Brown, Founder and Chairman, Public Banking Institute, Alphecca Muttardy, professional economist, and Assemblyman Felix Ortiz, former Assistant Speaker New York Assembly were joined by elected officials for an emergency Town Hall forum on May 19 entitled, "As Financial Markets Swoon, "Stock" in the National Infrastructure Bank Rises.
 
As financial markets are shedding trillions of dollars of market capitalization, support for the National Infrastructure Bank (NIB) is on the rise. Unlike the Federal Reserve, which invests trillions of dollars into the financial sector, the National Infrastructure Bank will direct $5 trillion into the real economy. This will bring all traditional infrastructure up to a state of good repair. In addition, the Bank will launch new projects to combat drought in the West, build High Speed Rail, and construct seven million new units of affordable housing 
The NIB will supercharge the economy, and lift the lower 90% of Americans out of financial ruin. Financial bubbles – that long benefited the upper 10% – are now unwinding, and our economy could be facing a recession. An NIB in place will provide guaranteed, family sustaining jobs for those in greatest need.

Support for HR3339, the National Infrastructure Bank Act, is growing by the day. Please watch this timely event.
