Participatory Budgeting in Red Hook Needs VOLUNTEERS!

When: Feb 25-Apr 3, 2016

Where: Red Hook

Subject: Join the PBNYC Get Out the Vote Network today!

Participatory Budgeting (PB) is a grassroots process through which community residents vote to directly allocate at least $1 million in capital funding per district toward proposals developed by the community to meet local needs. Through a series of public meetings, residents work with elected officials throughout the year to identify neighborhood concerns and craft proposals to address them. Residents then decide which proposals to fund through a public vote. PBNYC Vote Week is March 26 to April 3! Community members have developed proposals and ballots are almost ready to go in 28 council districts in NYC!

We need your help! During PBNYC Vote Week (March 26 to April 3) we need your support and space to Get Out The Vote (GOTV). Being a part of the GOTV Network would mean you partner with The New York City Council, your local City Council Member, and Participatory Budgeting Project to give your members real power over real money in your community by letting your neighbors and constituencies know where, how, and when to vote!

Join the GOTV Network and host a poll site! Fill out this form to host a polling location in your community and receive promotional materials to spread the word about PBNYC Vote Week.

Recruit Volunteers - Send your electronic mailing list the link to the Volunteer form and plug in your people to the GOTV efforts in your community! Also re-post the Facebook call for volunteers to your social network!

Thank you!
