Participatory Budgeting
It is crucial for residents to take control of city and state resources so we can shift spending from policing and incarceration and invest in Black and Brown communities.
The concept of Participatory Budgeting was created through a collective process among women from the most incarcerated neighborhoods in the country. We are demanding an initial investment of $41 million into a Community Fund to be distributed through a Black-led Participatory Budgeting Process.
This is the moment to address structural racism, income inequality, and the economic devastation that generations of disproportionate policing and incarceration have caused in Black communities.
