Laura sits down with Shari Davis and Kristania De Leon, PBP co-EDs and Shaun Glaze, Research Director at the Black Brilliance Research Project to discuss the roots of participatory budgeting, ongoing projects across the US, and the role of PB in creating a better future.

“Participatory budgeting is about transforming the relationship that people can have with government and with community-led decision making so that we make really good, fiscally responsible decisions that reflect community spending priorities.”

-Shari Davis, PBP Co-ED

“How do we actually start to move in a way that allows us to meet our needs together, build relationships, and see value in the collective?”

-Kristania De Leon, PBP Co-ED
