All the more important to keep all of you, who are interested in monetary reform internationally, connected and informed despite the restrictions on travelling and meeting in person. The ensuing global financial crisis has just begun... Monneta-expert Stephanie Rearick <https://monneta.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5946820fbb88dd524bd7cc548&id=69484cc2d0&e=bbcff3cd59> from Wisconsin works in time-banking and founded the Mutual Aid Network. In her latest article on monneta.org <https://monneta.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5946820fbb88dd524bd7cc548&id=953c0b0570&e=bbcff3cd59> she describes what the upheavals of 2020 have (so far) meant for her 25 years long on-the-ground work on complementary currencies and restorative economics. Another international source we like to follow is the blog of UK based "modern money" commentator Brett Scott, see for example his article on why the "war on Covid must not become a war on cash <https://monneta.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5946820fbb88dd524bd7cc548&id=abf3b72d2e&e=bbcff3cd59> ". A campaign to the opposite effect - putting money and finance back under democratic control instead of leaving it with private corporations - is the Californian campaign for a Public State Bank. After the success of getting the Public Bank Act (AB 857) passed almost a year ago, this bank would complement the public banks on the city or regional level, each creating and channeling the funds needed not only for Covid-reponse and recovery, but also for the much needed restructuring of an economy that cares for all people and the climate. Read up and support these efforts here <https://monneta.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5946820fbb88dd524bd7cc548&id=0dc6577b29&e=bbcff3cd59> . Meanwhile in Germany, the two recently published biographies (in German) of our late founder Margrit Kennedy <https://monneta.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5946820fbb88dd524bd7cc548&id=4d2c6346ea&e=bbcff3cd59> († 2013) and founding member Bernard Lietaer <https://monneta.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5946820fbb88dd524bd7cc548&id=9b3a8adb22&e=bbcff3cd59> († 2019) are both currently being translated into English. We will inform you as soon as they are available. In the meantime, have a look at our remodelled website for inspiration in the new media library <https://monneta.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5946820fbb88dd524bd7cc548&id=5882680c6a&e=bbcff3cd59> or update or refresh your knowledge with our free online courses <https://monneta.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5946820fbb88dd524bd7cc548&id=d25a52db2c&e=bbcff3cd59>. As always, we would love to hear from you and what Corona meant for the monetary reform efforts around you, and we hope that you will forward this newsletter to other interested people.
