Dear Michel Bauwens,
<br>
<br>
Do you know what your money is doing tonight? Community bank depositors can be pretty sure theirs is supporting local businesses on their respective Main Streets. Unlike their Wall Street counterparts, community banks are often owned and operated by members of the local community who understand the needs of their neighbors and are well-equipped to make lending decisions that benefit local consumers and producers. Put simply, big banks <em>remove</em> capital from communities while community banks <em>circulate</em> it, invigorating the local economy.
