People's Budget Birmingham is a coalition focused on giving you a say in how the city spends your taxes, supporting budget transparency, and creating policies to create a more participatory budgeting process.
After the murder of George Floyd, and the actions that arose around the nation in June 2020, People's Budget Birmingham was founded by eight local organizations. Those organizations include Black Lives Matter Birmingham, Adelante Alabama, SWEET Alabama, Dynamite Hill-Smithfield Community Land Trust, Birmingham Earth Coalition, DSA - Birmingham, When We Fight, and Faith & Works.
In August 2020 they created a survey to gather Birmingham residents budgetary priorities for the City of Birmingham's Fiscal Year 2021 (FY21) budget. On August 31, 2020 they released a People's Priorities Report. The report included the results from 872 residents, which was 2.7 times more survey results than the City of Birmingham received for the Impediments to Fair Housing Choice study they released in May 2020.
The People's Priorities Report was submitted to the Birmingham City Council on the evening of August 31, 2020 during the Birmingham City Council's public hearing on the FY21 budget.
