We are excited to be part of this conference, sharing our experiences on #ParticipatoryBudgeting in #Africa based on a publication @MunicipalDevel1 did with #UNHabitat @LACEP_Zimbabwe
In the first 8 hours of the #FirstRootConference, we learned about NFTs to fundraise for schools, to be a boring investor, how PB is run in CDMX, a healthy financial wellbeing model, about how to combat stagflation, and all about the various ways we can vote! More to come!

🤩 Our Co-ED, @Shari_Davis1, shared their vision with @nytimes
“I do believe democracy can be functional. It can be equitable. But government has to change. One of the cruxes of this work is building power, and that requires healing first.”

Participatory Budgeting (PB) Greensboro is a democratic process that allows residents to help determine how public funds are spent. Residents propose ideas, volunteers develop them into projects, and residents vote on which to fund. Deadline to submit ideas is April 20.
