  • MADISON PEOPLE'S BUDGET CITY OF MADISON 2021 PRESENTED BY FREEDOM, INC.

    Madison, WI
    Other

    The Madison People's Budget is a 2021 initiative by Freedom, Inc. designed to give Madison residents direct input into municipal budget allocation, with particular emphasis on voices from low to no-income Black, Southeast Asian, disabled, queer, trans, and gender non-conforming communities. The project gathered data from over 1,500 Madison residents through surveys and focus groups to identify community budgeting priorities, with the goal of creating a budget that reflects community needs rather than government decisions made with minimal public input. The report frames budgets as moral documents and advocates for resource allocation that addresses systemic disparities including police violence, housing affordability, food insecurity, and economic displacement.
