SUMMARY:Building Blocks for Budget Justice
DESCRIPTION:Amid political repression and a deepening affordability crisis\
 , what can communities do to fight against austerity policies and for city
  budgets that give communities the resources they need to address their ne
 eds? Cities have to do more than elect progressive mayors and work towards
  specific policies or campaigns. They must work to democratize our democra
 cy\, and build durable civic infrastructures for co-governing power.\n\nTh
 is Jubilee School session centers budget justice\, participatory democrati
 c experiments\, and people's budget campaigns around the country to outlin
 e key challenges\, tensions\, and possibilities. Taking inspiration from t
 he Global South/ Global Majority\, as well as two decades of research and 
 activism in local struggles for collective governance in the US\, we will 
 discuss lessons and tools from participatory democratic experiments-- such
  as\, but not limited to\, participatory budgeting and mutual aid networks
 . What might meaningful versions actually look like in an age of austerity
 ? When and how can they be used to make a real impact?\n\nPlease join Debt
  Collective and author Celina Su for a conversation about her book\, Budge
 t Justice: On building grassroots politics and solidarities.\n\nCelina Su
 ’s academic\, pedagogical\, and creative work focuses on everyday strugg
 les for collective governance\, centering economic democracy and racial ju
 stice. As an engaged scholar-activist\, Celina has published four books on
  the politics of social policy and civil society\, including her latest\, 
 Budget Justice: On Building Grassroots Politics and Solidarities\, as well
  as a book of poetry\, three poetry chapbooks\, and pieces in the Boston R
 eview\, New York Times Magazine\, n+1\, New Republic\, Harper’s\, and el
 sewhere. She is the inaugural Marilyn J. Gittell Chair in Urban Studies an
 d a Professor of Political Science at the City University of New York.\n
