Who will advocate for the public’s mandate and make sure NYC is meeting its fiscal obligations? Perhaps the candidates for Public Advocate and Comptroller, two of the original #PBNYC leaders?

.@AmirForATL is raising the bar for #participatorybudgeting!
$1M allocated by & for a district of 37k residents = $27 per capita.
That’s nearly 2x any city PB in US & 5x #PBNYC.
Thx @bradlander @LocalProgress @PBProject for supporting! Who’s next to match #ATL commitment?

Few events inspire as much hope about our future as the #ParticipatoryBudgeting expo in @PBnyc39.
Thx @bradlander, @HShahana, @ashernovek & all the community leaders for sparking such awesome proposals for our schools, streets, and community. #PBNYC
Favorite idea from @bradlander #pbnyc assembly: safety redesign of prospect park bike/pedestrian path. Now that it’s car free, let’s make it work better for cyclists & pedestrians of all ages.

Paris Mayor @Anne_Hidalgo lets residents decide 5% of capital budget, 500M€, vía #ParticipatoryBudgeting, matches all funds from districts that use PB. Results: All districts participate, biggest process in Europe. Model for #PBNYC? #ImprovingDemocracy2018
Library gardens, murals, self-defense classes, bus countdown clocks, mobile showers & 14 year old community leaders - some outcomes of #PBNYC #ParticipatoryBudgeting from #JanesWalkNYC w @MASNYC @artanddemocracy @bradlander @PBProject
My 6 year old son wants to volunteer tomorrow for the Study of Endangered Bats in Prospect Park. I knew I’d have to have the father son talk about project implementation timelines eventually, but didn’t think it’d be so early. #PBNYC #ParticipatoryBudgeting

This is what democracy looks like: jump rope, empanadas, and a grand kaleidoscope of New Yorkers voting at #ParticipatoryBudgeting fest for @NYCSpeakerCoJo #PBNYC vote.
Yes! “This is the best civic education and grassroots democracy event of the year” @bradlander at #PBNYC #ParticipatoryBudgeting expo. Thanks @BKLYNlibrary for hosting!
Good problem to have: When so many districts join #PBNYC #ParticipatoryBudgeting that their ballots take up a whole banquet table - for Brooklyn alone! Thanks @brooklynmuseum for making space for democracy!
