The People's Purse: The Race to Voting
RVAPB Staff Updates
The People’s Budget staff is working diligently to prepare for the upcoming voting phase in April! We are in the final stages of processing the project proposals that will be included on the ballot, and we aim to have a sample ballot ready soon so you can review and prepare before the polls officially open.
Meanwhile, our outreach team has been actively engaging with community partners, civic associations, non-profits, and key RVA organizations to strengthen relationships and expand our network. By working together, we are ensuring that as many voices as possible are heard in this participatory budgeting process.
