logo-pbnyc-white-englishThe Participatory Budgeting process is coming to our neighborhood!

Participatory Budgeting is a democratic process in which community members directly decide how to spend part of a public budget. It’s grassroots democracy at its best. It helps make budget decisions clear and accessible. It gives real power to people who have never before been involved in the political process. And it results in better budget decisions—because who better knows the needs of our community than the people who live here?

Community members can propose projects like improvements to schools, parks, libraries, public housing, and other public or community spaces.
