Moving Through The Budget
As an additional effort to educate Boston residents on how to engage in the budget process, four movement and educational workshops were held in Mid-October, two of which were fully in Spanish. The workshops were the second iteration of a pilot project managed by the Mayor’s Office of New Urban Mechanics (MONUM). At the workshops, participants:
- learned about the budget process
- practiced testimony for budget hearings, and
- moved their bodies throughout.
