Somos Mayfair is a long-time partner of BMP on our work on Social Change for Service Providers. They've recently started a new campaign to reverse education and health inequities in their community. They've received a major foundation gift to aid them in this important work, but need more help in order to make real change happen. Check out their project update to learn more about the campaign and find out how you can help.

imageBMP Spotted at NYC’s first Participatory Budgeting Vote

Building Movement Project served on the Steering Committee for New York City's first use of Participatory Budgeting. Four city council members each pledged at least $1,000,000 of their discretionary budgets to be used for specific projects that would be voted on directly by district residents. We sent three delegates from Detroit to the corresponding international conference that coincided with the final project vote at the end of March. One of them is spotted in a video that follows two budget delegates as they find out if their project won enough votes to get city funding.

imageReally Talking About Taxes

Can we shed a positive light on Tax Day? Yes, says project team member Kim Klein in her most recent blog post from Kim Klein and the Commons. She argues that we should use Tax Day as an opportunity to discuss all the great things that our tax dollars pay for, as well as the common good they serve to protect. She highlights the work of many other organizations who are working towards highlighting the positive aspects of taxes, and discusses how the Occupy Wall Street movement continues to play a role in this conversation.
