Great Cities Institute is hosting a screening of Count Me In – a documentary about participatory budgeting (PB) here in Chicago. PB is a democratic process by which citizens decide how to spend public money. To date, over $25 million have been allocated to fund projects across the city. The documentary follows PB stakeholders across Chicago as they work through the PB process. Join us for a viewing of the film, followed by a panel discussion with filmmaker Ines Sommer and lead PB researcher Thea Crum as they answer your questions about one of the most exciting innovations in citizen empowerment.
