Thanks to each of you speaking at council, calling legislators, and more!
I printed out this snippet of Ariel Aberg-Riger's budget explainer when I started as an analyst [https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-06-25/how-to-understand-your-city-budget].
Today it's got me thinking about creative ways to grow the accessibility & engagement of our budget story.
I’m inspired by Kenneth Mejia's LA campaign graphics, the #SolidarityBudget in Seattle, and Mural Arts Philadelphia's “A People’s Budget” project.
What #ParticipatoryBudgeting examples should I read up on? Particularly interested in #PublicAdmin implementations.
