Yesterday, Jim Macdonald was invited to give a talk about Occupy Bozeman's divestment campaign against Wells Fargo.
Jim used the talk to discuss the disempowerment of our voices that results from a system dominated by big national banks, much akin to an essay he wrote recently called: Wells Fargo and the Loss of Our Voices: One Anarchist's View. In that spirit, Jim invited Josh Davis, also of Occupy Bozeman, to talk about his efforts as the Montana coordinator for the Public Banking Institute, an effort to de-centralize the entire banking system - and a potential tactic for divestment of big banks.
A discussion ensues with the group hearing the talk, composed mostly of activists from Helena and Bozeman.
