Monthly Briefings for Freedom-Focused State Legislators and Officials

For the foreseeable future, Catherine Austin Fitts and the Solari Report will remain committed to supporting state legislators, officials and other state leaders who are focused on preserving financial transaction freedom and the U.S. Constitution. In 2024, we provided state legislators with a comprehensive resource, “What the States Can Do: Building the Legal and Financial Infrastructure for Financial Freedom,” to assist in those efforts.

In 2025, Solari will hold monthly online briefings for state legislators and elected officials and their staff, where Catherine will discuss how they can protect their state’s ability to transact freely. In addition to the presentations by Catherine, each briefing will include time for Q&A. Members of their state banking associations are also welcome to attend with them. For the summer months of 2025 Solari is also opening up the briefings to engaged citizen activists.

The briefings will be held via Zoom on the second Thursday of every month from 2-4 pm Eastern. If you think your legislators or state officials would benefit from such a briefing, please email Elizabeth Murphy for more information and to reserve their spot. Solari subscribers can attend if their legislator, official, or staff is attending.

Recorded versions of the briefings edited to include only the Solari side of the briefing will be published for Solari subscribers who are authorized to share it with their state officials. If there is sufficient interest, we will also hold Q&A sessions for subscribers who have watched the briefings.

Future Briefings:

July 10, 2025: Gold Transaction Systems

This briefing will examine a fast-moving development in state-level policy: the push to create digital transaction systems for gold holdings. State legislators are actively being lobbied to adopt these systems which are often presented as a way to enhance financial resilience. But are these proposals truly aligned with the goals of financial freedom and state sovereignty? Catherine Austin Fitts, Tim Caban, and Susan Luschas will lead a deep-dive into:

• The growing momentum behind state-level digital gold initiatives
• Key questions and concerns: Who controls these systems? How do they work? Who benefits?
• How to avoid unintentionally reinforcing the digital control grid
• What a sovereignty-supporting approach to gold and gold transaction systems might look like
• Will gold transaction systems relate to stablecoins and asset tokenization?

This session is essential for those tracking the evolving role of alternative currencies and seeking to ensure that efforts to promote monetary reform do not backfire — concentrating control rather than restoring it to individuals and communities. At the end of the briefing there will be time for a Q&A.

previous briefings:

January 9, 2025: Bitcoin Bailout with Tim Caban
The January session addressed a critical issue affecting states across the nation: lobbying efforts to establish Bitcoin Strategic Reserves.
Bitcoin billionaires are pushing for a taxpayer-funded Bitcoin exit strategy that amounts to a “take from the poor and give to the rich” scheme. Catherine was joined by financial planner Tim Caban of Copper Beech Advisors in Pennsylvania. Catherine and Tim reviewed these proposals, explained their dangers, and provide legislators with tools to push back. This discussion addressed the importance of legislators protecting their state and citizens’ land and real assets while effectively communicating their stance to constituents.

February 13, 2025: Sovereign State Banks with Richard Werner
This month Catherine was joined by world-renowned banking expert Richard A. Werner for our legislative briefing. The two followed up on their recent conversation about “Organizing a Sovereign State Bank,” helping legislators understand why one or more sovereign state banks are an excellent idea. They also answered attendees’ questions about some of the nuts and bolts involved in establishing such a bank. Currently, the only sovereign state bank in the U.S. is the century-old Bank of North Dakota, which offers a superlative role model for other states.

June 12, 2025: Keeping Cash in Circulation – A Key Tool Against the Digital Control Grid

This Solari briefing for engaged citizen activists focused on one of the most powerful tools we have to push back against the emerging digital control grid: keeping cash in circulation. Tim Caban opened the session by framing the critical importance of preserving cash as a cornerstone of financial freedom and privacy. His talk was followed by Susan Luschas, Tobi Maier, and Elizabeth Murphy who explored
legislative actions taken in other states to protect and promote the use of cash, strategies that have proven effective for building public and political support, and a detailed discussion of a model bills that we see as effective tool to raise awareness and build momentum.
