Starting (3/29): Participatory Budgeting Vote Week!
MHNADear New Yorker: Participatory Budgeting Vote Week is almost here! Participatory Budgeting in New York City (PBNYC) is a democratic, grassroots-driven process in which community members – like YOU – directly decide how to spend at least $1 million in capital funds in participating Council Districts. Between Saturday, March 29 and Sunday, April 6, residents across 25 participating Council Districts will cast their ballot and vote for locally developed projects to improve schools, parks, libraries, and other public spaces in their community! Voting is open to anyone 11 years of age (or at least in the 6th grade) or older who lives in or has a special connection to (i.e. goes to school or works in) one of the 25 participating Council Districts – regardless of immigration status, gender, race, ethnicity, or eligibility to vote in traditional elections. Click here to vote online beginning March 29 or here to see if your Council Member is participating or to contact your local Council Member’s office to find out how to vote in person.Help shape the future of your community by casting your vote! Then multiply your efforts by telling your family, friends, and neighbors to vote as well!Sincerely, New York City Council |
