Our campaigns and advocacy team is here to help you learn about, advocate for, and win participatory democracy through community education, advocacy support, and campaign strategy partnership. We work with community members to win and expand equitable, accessible and significant participatory democracy practices.
Across the U.S. and Canada we have had the honor of collaborating with grassroots community organizations, elected officials committed to sharing power, and schools and districts to bring real power over real decisions to life.
We can help you advocate for and WIN PB! Check out these resources and reach out to us to get started!

Fellows partner with local agencies to design and test youth-led outreach & engagement strategies, facilitate conversations with other youth & community members, support neighborhood research, and help manage digital participatory spaces.
Democracy Beyond Elections
Democracy Beyond Elections is a collaborative, national campaign dedicated to transformative democracy rooted in community led decision making. Our mighty coalition of national, state-based, and local grassroots organizations are working together to transform and expand democracy, between and beyond elections.
PB in Schools
Schools, school districts, and colleges around the world are using participatory budgeting (PB) to engage students, parents, educators, and staff in deciding how to spend a part of the school budget.
PB for Orgs
Have you ever wondered what sharing real decision-making power could look like within your organization? Or do you already use democratic practices internally, but want to turn those practices into budgeting action? Wherever your organization is at, PBP wants to help you use the power of participatory budgeting (PB) to make your organization more equitable, inclusive, and effective.
