Hi Friends,
The Democracy Beyond Elections coalition
(DBE) is launching a campaign to educate stakeholders and support
implementation of community-led decision making in the allocation of
funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). This campaign will build
the infrastructure, education, and organizing muscle needed for winning
participatory practices with future funds and bills beyond ARPA.
Now, we are excited to support local and state
organizations that are currently working to equitably allocate ARPA funds
by advocating for participatory budgeting or other participatory
democracy practices!
We are offering $1,000
- $10,000 for short term (3 -5 month) contracts to support groups' on
the ground efforts to educate community members and decision makers on
participatory budgeting and participatory democracy. The DBE
coalition will also offer technical assistance and capacity building
opportunities, as well as space to learn about what local groups
across the country are doing to expand and transform democracy beyond
elections.
