People’s Budget values (for reference):

• Self-determination: We know what our communities need and we have the right to decide for ourselves.

• Transparency: We move with honesty and openness so everyone can see how decisions are made.

• Care: We keep each other safe through care / by meeting needs, not punishment.

• Solidarity: We show up for each other. None of us are free unless all of us are free!

• Community Wisdom: The people most affected by decisions should lead.

• Well-being: We deserve more than survival. Everyone should have what they need to live abundant, joyful lives.

Reminder: Residents will be asked to consider how proposals align with these values when you vote at the assembly on March 14 and to vote for proposals that align with the values.
