Create a new farmstand and women’s craft market in Kensington? A Brooklyn Skate Garden? Restore the historic Wurlitzer organ of the Prospect Park carousel? Fill up our open streets with family programming? Deliver diapers to parents who need but can’t afford them? 

It’s your choice … but only if you vote now.  

VOTE BEFORE MIDNIGHT!

If you still need some help deciding, you can review detailed descriptions of all 14 ballot projects (you’ll be able to vote for up to 7).

Every one of these projects was conceived, researched, and developed by your neighbors. They speak to needs highlighted by the pandemic, and they point the way forward to rebuild our wounded city together.

I know voting in PB can sometimes feel limiting, or “zero sum,” since all of these projects are fantastic and should be funded. But the deeper idea behind PB is not about forcing a choice between essential projects. It’s about recognizing that if we work together, if we spark each other’s creativity, if we focus on places of the most need, if we dream big ... then we are capable of building a city where everyone can thrive.  

Hard as it is to believe, this cycle -- our 10th -- is the last participatory budgeting vote during my tenure as your City Council Member. But I hope it’s just the beginning of the next chapter for PB in District 39.

Don’t miss your chance to vote before midnight.

With gratitude and hope,
Brad
