PEOPLE'S BUDGET ASSEMBLY
#RECLAIM MLK- 120 HOURS OF DIRECT ACTION
The Community Democracy Project is an all-volunteer campaign working to turn the power structure right-side up by putting the budget in the hands of the people.
On January 18, 2017, in response toĀ the Anti Police-Terror Projectās call to #ReclaimMLK with 120 hours of direct action, the Community Democracy Project hosted a Peopleās Budget Assembly. A group of about 35 folks came together to learn about the current city budget and then submitted their own proposals.

Everyone's suggestedĀ allocations were averaged out to create THE PEOPLEāS BUDGET (see the column on the right)
We did this exercise to help everyone envision a world in which people got together to make their city and the world a better place.
One lesson learned: a lot of us weren't entirely sureĀ about what these city departments actually do. To remedy this, we decided that every month, weāll host a Peopleās Budget Assembly to educate ourselves and others. Hope to see you then! Subscribe to our Facebook Events Page to stay tuned.Ā
