See What the People Can Do: The Accomplishments of the People's Budget

Jane's Walk to see the accomplishments of Participatory Budgeting in District 39
Free tour
In NYC, community members get to decide how to spend public money through participatory budgeting (PB). On this walk, we learned more about PB, visited projects that our community chose to invest in, & spoke with City Councilmember Brad Lander, who helped bring PB to NY. The walk was led by neighborhood District Committee members Caron Atlas and Christa Paterline.
This tour was part of the #JaneswalkNYC festival of 200 + walking conversations in neighborhoods across NYC. To learn more click here.
