Join us on Thursday, October 3rd and Friday, October 4th from 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM at Meyer Memorial Trust to learn how public dollars are allocated to private concerns and how you can influence spending to better serve our collective needs! Improve your advocacy and community engagement by gaining a deeper understanding of how Portland's city budget and programs operate.

This interactive two-day workshop brings together a diverse group of advocates, planners, and professionals to:

• Demystify the city's budgeting process and financial structures

• Evaluate the impacts of governance changes on community needs

• Develop skills to confidently articulate budget and program information

• Empower residents to participate in shaping responsive policies

Knowledge is power when it comes to navigating and influencing public resources. Join us to strengthen your ability to advocate for your community's priorities. Plus, there’s an afterparty!
