Given the chance to spend $1 million in your community, what would you do? On this CommunityMatters conference call recording, we’ll learn about Participatory Budgeting (or “PB” for short), a public process where community members decide how portions of their city or town’s budget should be spent.

Featuring Josh Lerner, Executive Director of The Participatory Budgeting Project and Marti Brown, Councilwoman at the City of Vallejo, California.
