<p>A core component of the People&#8217;s Budget is the emphasis on including the people in the budgeting process. We want to encourage all political candidates and officeholders to sign the participatory budgeting pledge to commit to holding a participatory budgeting process.</p>



<p>The People&#8217;s Budget LA Coalition does not endorse candidates but we will reflect the names of those who have signed this pledge on this page for public information.</p>



<p>Note that we are only accepting signed pledges from candidates for the Nov 3, 2020 General Election. We will open up more opportunities soon. </p>
