You may remember our first in-person episode, “Where The Money Reside,” from Season 1. In it, we explained the budgeting process in local governments and briefly mentioned examples of how cities can incorporate equity into the budget process. Today, we’re following up with a deeper dive into budget equity as a tool to address historic and present inequalities throughout programs and plans that lead to effective change and implementation. PolicyLink’s Equity Manifesto defines equity as just and fair inclusion into a society in which all can participate, prosper, and reach their full potential. Press play to hear:
- An overview of budget equity best practices and how to use it
- Explanations of how six cities across the country used a budget equity tool: Dallas, Seattle, Nashville, Tacoma, Portland, New York City
