Piloting the 1st Participatory Budgeting in RI. https://t.co/sqh9FN2Pgg #participatorybudgeting #equityinaction


Congratulations to Emmanuel Ramos of Central Falls, RI - this year's Darcy E. Richie Teacher Courage Award recipient! In honor of Darcy Elaine Richie, we are happy to bestow this $10,000 award to Mr. Ramos for his demonstrated courage and excellence in equity-rooted education.

NEW: R.I. asked ordinary people in three cities how to spend over $1m on their neighborhoods. Here’s how that process of participatory budgeting could be the future. bostonglobe.com/2023/06/27/met… via @BostonGlobe

✨Bigbelly Solar Bins 🚮 are now in the city, thx to Participatory Budgeting! I luv big policies but the day-to-day quality of life Matters, and our community voted for it. Central Falls allocated $50K for PB thx to the support of Mayor @MariaForCF & sponsors #CommunityPower

Make your voice heard! Central Falls and Pawtucket residents are engaging in a participatory budgeting project to spend $385,000 on improving health in their communities. valleybreeze.com/news/you-decid…
