Participatory budgeting is a grassroots budgeting process that gives members of the community a chance to vote on how their tax dollars are spent. The result is a more democratic, transparent, and equitable distribution of government funds that can replace the backroom horse-trading that dominates our current budgeting structures.
President Obama, please come out in support of New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio's participatory budgeting initiatives. As an up-and-coming grassroots movement, we need all the support we can get.
