Move Your Money into Your Own Community

As our country is mired in creative destruction, a massive grassroots effort is spreading throughout our nation that can help to positively reshape our economy. Millions of people are moving their money from huge, self-serving corporate banks into locally owned community banks and regional credit unions. The Move Your Money Project is growing faster than our country’s rapidly increasing unemployment numbers, and it may just be part of the solution to rebuilding a more sustainable economy in this nation.

Filmmaker Eugene Jarecki directed this Move Your Money video, utilizing the classic “It’s a Wonderful Life” as a metaphor for how badly our country’s dysfunctional banking system has deteriorated.

“People all over the country are choosing to move their money out of bigger banks and into smaller, community-oriented financial institutions that generally avoided the reckless investments and schemes that helped cause the financial crisis.“

For additional information about how to participate in more sustainable banking, and how to find a reputable local bank in your neighborhood:
