Join DBE for our next learning session! ⭐ Youth across our communities are consistently underrepresented in decision-making processes that affect them. This is why we are curating this opportunity for youth to share and continue to advocate for participatory democracy practices such as Participatory Budgeting, People’s Movement Assemblies, Civic Assemblies and Youth Voting. Learn from youth from across the nation as they share their experience with their work in participatory democracy practices. This event is hosted in collaboration with DBE Coalition Members Center for the Future of Arizona, Participatory Budgeting Oregon, Black Nashville Assembly, Healthy Democracy and Generation Citizen.

Grand Rapids, Michigan allocated American Rescue Plan Act funds for COVID recovery through a participatory budgeting process that used rank choice voting in the voting phase. Residents ranked their priority projects to select those to be implemented by the City. https://lnkd.in/gkbW4i5b

Some politicians in Portland who are learning about participatory budgeting ask good questions about the details and feasibility of implementation. There is lots to say because there so many cities and localities in the US who are implementing PB already, some for over a decade. But for starters, this is an excellent video by our friends at the Participatory Budgeting Project featuring elected officials talking about their experiences implementing PB. https://lnkd.in/gWdEpFJs

Residents have advocated for launching participatory budgeting in Portland since 2011. Community advocacy has grown steadily since a Community Forum on the topic in 2018 and with a pilot process with East Portland youth that allocated $500,000 in COVID recovery funds. Last year Portland Charter Commission proposed a PB charter amendment like Boston’s. The City Council has taken no action and Portland remains the only major City on the West Coast—from L.A. to Vancouver B.C.—without a municipal PB program. Join Next Up for Back to Basics: Community Budgeting for All to learn more about Participatory Budgeting, our efforts to bring it to Portland, and how you can get involved. Participatory Budgeting Oregon and Youth Voice, Youth PB team members will be guest speakers on this panel on March 26th (virtual event). Register to attend: https://lnkd.in/gbXNMcGH
