Is anyone at #Socialism2023 in #Chicago? The in-person speaker schedule looked great. I wasn’t as inspired by the virtual conference program, but I’ll take another look: it starts tomorrow. More #socialists are considering “non-reformist reforms”, such as #PublicBanking and #ParticipatoryBudgeting and even —gasp! — #Cooperatives. Cheers to the #SolidarityEconomy and all the ways we can do #PeopleCare and #FutureCare and #EarthCare. #Love #BoundlessRegenerativeCulture #permaculture

@tfromnyc Good idea! #PB minimum for NYC is $25k. I have no idea how to cost this out, but you could probably rent space on quite a few servers for that much. I'll do the same with mine in #CD6 with #GaleBrewer

#participatoryBudgeting

My city's participatory budgeting was rolled out in 2016 pre-gutted.

It's a little "fun" money for the ballot for things like a bus shelter, pool shade, crosswalk, game table, gazebo, water fountain.

People get excited about it and feel empowered. 😬

RT @iurc_lac: A delegation from Debrecen is visiting Hermosillo to learn about #NatureBasedSolutions, #ParticipatoryBudgeting, #RenewableEnergy and #CircularEconomy. The first day they had a meeting with the Hermosillo’s mayor and visited spaces accompanied by the IMPLAN and @secretariahmo

@atthenius @stevenbodzin I have an email for a person I believe is the chief of staff. I do have quite a few contacts with that office as I did some #participatoryBudgeting stuff with them last year (2021-2022 cycle). That experience left such a bad taste in my mouth that I did not participate in the current cycle. There may not be a #PB cycle this year as #MayorAdams is asking all councilmembers for their discretionary money.

Tuesday morning I'm joining my colleague Michelle on @soundofideas talk about our campaign for a people's budget with @PB_Cleveland.

We'll share why we believe Cleveland residents - who are experts in their neighborhoods - must have real power to make real decisions with #participatorybudgeting. Join us!

Lerner points to other cities like Paris, where participatory budgeting has radically shifted its budget priorities: “New York’s program is really the exception, not the norm, from an international perspective and I think it’s holding possibilities back.”

How Cities Use Participatory Budgeting To Build Place

"Participatory budgeting models have the power to bring a wider array of stakeholders into the governance process. But cities are learning that there are some pitfalls."

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.

@kironbondale I worked and strategized for a municipal campaign that ran on #ParticipatoryBudgeting for the entire city among other things - no success either, so I can commiserate a bit about that.

Vote turnout was slightly higher, and while my candidate did not win, there was at least a bit more diversity on city council afterwards, though largely it was incumbents, so agreed, "devil you know."

I'm already enjoying Mastodon as an interesting space for social science academic debates. But how good is it for dissemination? I have seen several @politicaltheory @politicalscience researchers with interest in #deliberation and #participatory #democracy. Would you be interested in a comprehensive case-study-based review of #ParticipatoryBudgeting in #Poland, one of the countries with the largest number of #PB in the World? tinyurl.com/msf4daba

Reading the late Erik Olin Wright’s 2009 “Envisioning Real Utopias” tonight. I’m simultaneously borne aloft by his generosity of spirit, and a trifle depressed that of the four institutions he chose as examples of practical steps toward postcapitalist flourishing – #participatorybudgeting, Wikipedia, the #Mondragon coops and the #UBI – at least three seem to have been coopted, neutralized, recuperated or cut short of achieving what seemed to be their promise in the recent past.
