The time has come for action: We need your vote for Participatory Budgeting!
We
are in the home stretch, and the dog run in Prospect Park Parade Ground can soon be a reality.
Councilmembers Brad Lander of District 39 and Mathieu Eugene of
District 40 have included our dog run proposal on the ballot for this
year's Participatory Budgeting (PBNYC), leaving the decision of funding
up to the people of their districts. The PBNYC process gives New
Yorkers the power to decide how to spend tax dollars in our
neighborhoods.
Voting begins this Monday! PBNYC week kicks off on Saturday, March
26th, with voting in Districts 39 and 40 starting on Monday, March
28th, and running through Sunday, April 3rd. Any resident of the neighborhood, age 14
and up, has five votes to use toward any project on the ballot.
We have made so much progress since our early stages as an association.
We hope to get the votes we need to finally bring a dog run to the
neighborhood. Please go out and vote and thank you for spreading the
word to your neighbors! Polling times and locations are listed below.
