We are the Community Democracy Project! We're an all-volunteer campaign. We work to turn the power structure right-side up by putting the people of Oakland in charge of the city budget. We are a group of teachers, service workers, union members, cooperative worker-owners, parents, and fighters for a more just and equitable Oakland.
JOIN OUR CAMPAIGN
FOR A PEOPLE'S BUDGET!
WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO:
As you may know, CDP’s participatory budgeting initiative was juuuuuust shy of making it on the 2020 ballot. But after gathering more than 40,000 signatures, our team has grown bigger and stronger! And we're fired up to go again but we need your help!
When the pandemic hit, we spent hours figuring out how to organize
for a
People’s Budget when we can’t gather signatures safely! One
idea was to
continue creating a leaderful base of supporters so
that once our initiative
passes, we’ll have folks ready and
willing to facilitate neighborhood
assemblies!
#PledgeYourCheck
WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES:
If you donate to this fundrazr campaign, your money will go toward our next signature gathering campaign. We're not sure when that will be because COVID19 makes it unsafe to gather signatures in person but we want to be prepared for when we can launch!
