Participate!

Anyone can participate in PB. The following council districts are offering participatory budgeting:

District 1 (Councilwoman Lena Gonzalez)
District 9 (Councilmember Rex Richardson)

PB is a community-led process, so its success also depends on volunteer support, primarily in facilitation, event logistics, and outreach to underserved communities. Check out and sign up for volunteer opportunities here.
