Dear Friend,
As the influx of federal relief money flows to our cities, the fight to build equitable budgets that truly meet our communities’ needs is also a fight to define the futures of our cities.
Join PowerSwitch Action and The Forge on Thursday, October 21 at 3 pm EST/12 pm PST in a virtual roundtable on 2021 city budget campaigns. [[link removed]]
During this event, you’ll hear from a powerful panel of leaders from PowerSwitch Action’s national network and partners driving dynamic campaigns to win just, community-supporting city budgets across the country.
They will speak on the transformational power of reclaiming public money for public goods that benefit all people and build racial and gender justice in our communities.
We’ll discuss why budget fights are crucial for shaping our future, the opportunities and challenges they present, and how key takeaways from recent campaigns inform evolving strategies and tactics on the ground.
Our amazing lineup includes:
* Brittany Alston: Deputy Research Director, Action Center on Race and the Economy (ACRE), Philadelphia
* Kennedy Bartley: Legislative Director, United Working Families, Chicago
* Liana Molina: Senior Campaign Director, East Bay Alliance for a Sustainable Economy (EBASE), Oakland
* jean-huy tran: Organizer, Center on Policy Initiatives (CPI), San Diego

We hope you’ll join us! Please register here to receive the Zoom link. [[link removed]]

In solidarity,
Felicia Griffin
Deputy Director
