We demand drastic changes to the Athens-Clarke County Budget.
Our mission is simple: We are dedicated to empowering people in the community to collectively decide how to spend public money - Our money. We ask that Athens-Clarke County redistributes funding to positive social services, small businesses, health care services, and other institutions that support the Black, brown, and poor communities in Athens.

About the People's Budget Athens Coalition
The People's Budget Athens is modeled after the People's Budget LA. Inspired by the city's bravery and organization, we want to bring the same participatory budgeting process to our beautiful city. We envision this as a coalition to bring together community organizations, faith leaders, parents, teachers, students, and our neighbors across Athens-Clarke County.
