| Résumé: | The Laurence and Lynne Brown Democracy Medal recognizes individuals, groups, and organizations that produce innovations to further democracy. The inaugural medal winner, the Participatory Budgeting Project (PBP), is an innovative not-for-profit organization that promotes participatory budgeting, an inclusive process that empowers community members to make informed decisions about public spending. More than 46,000 people in communities across the United States have decided how to spend $45 million through programs that PBP helped spark over the last five years. This book provides a history of the organization's origins and its vision, highlighting its successes in fostering grassroots budgeting campaigns in such cities as New York, Boston, and Chicago. |
