Prioritizing the people's needs? WOW, what a concept!
The national conversation about defunding the police has helped focus a critical spotlight on how exactly towns, cities, and states spend their money. A number of local communities have directed existing movement momentum toward a redesigned economic vision, creating what are known as “people’s budgets.
Unlike typical top-down approaches to city budgets that operate behind closed doors, people’s budgets are designed to rely on community input. Using wide-reaching surveys and tried-and-true grassroots methods, including neighborhood canvassing and community town halls, organizers gather an impressive amount of data and feedback about where residents want their local tax money to go and how they want to break up the city’s financial pie.
