    Participatory budgeting gives community members decision-making power over funds that belong to the people. Erica Perry shares the importance of being rooted in care and concern. "Don't use tax dollars to hurt our community."

    “...the goal is not to create one-time projects and hope that sustained equity will come out of that; this is just one step that’s part of a larger vision of justice. ‘We’re looking at this as a system’s change. And it needs to be a long term, deep commitment.’” 💯👏🏾

    After cutting $12 million from its police budget last year, Seattle has decided that, using participatory budgeting, everyday people will decide how that money is spent. “Those closest to the problems are closest to the solutions.”
