People’s Budget.
Families for Justice as Healing is organizing to take control of city and state resources so we can shift spending from policing and incarceration and invest in Black and Brown communities.
This People's City Budget was created through a collective process among women from the most incarcerated neighborhoods in the Commonwealth. We are demanding an initial investment of $41 million into a Community Fund to be distributed through a Black-led Participatory Budgeting Process.
This is the moment to address structural racism, income inequality, and the economic devastation that generations of disproportionate policing and incarceration have caused in Black communities. We invite you to amplify the vision of the most impacted women by reading and sharing the People's City Budget!
