New Orleans Budget Breakdown: How is Our Money Spent, and How Can We Change It?-
What would police divestment look like in New Orleans? Learn some budget basics like where our tax dollars come from and where they go, how to read the NOPD budget, and what other departments' funding is critical when talking about a strategy to reinvest in our communities. We'll also talk about what opportunities for engagement in the budget process look like and a timeline for plugging in to push for a budget that reflects New Orleanians’ needs.A community teach-in featuring Kelsey Foster, who was the campaign coordinator of the People's Budget from 2013 - 2020. The People’s Budget collected budget data from the City of New Orleans from 2007 - 2019 and ran the Big Easy Budget Game, an online platform where residents could decide how to spend the City’s budget.
