There'a been some talk around Washington DC of moving to a 100% digital/cashless banking system. It's a horrible idea. Let your representatives know.

Looks like there has been a bill introduced against this, not sure if it's still around:

The D.C. Council on Thursday considered legislation that would ban cashless, brick-and-mortar businesses in an effort to make the city less vulnerable to cyberattacks and more friendly to residents without banking or credit cards.

The way to defeat the push for a 'cashless society' is to expose how it discriminates against poor people without bank accounts.
