Civic Innovation & Citizen Budgeting Book Talk & Discussion this Wed

[Nada Zohdy]

Hi everyone,

For those in DC, we at the OpenGov Hub would love to have you join us this Wednesday evening 5:30-7pm for this special event: 

A New Age of Participatory Politics? Citizen Budgeting and Beyond

-

​ ​

What are successful 'civic innovations' that meaningfully change how citizens and governments interact?

​

- ​

How can we breathe new life into struggling democratic societies, locally

​ and​

globally?

​- ​

How can citizens become real change agents in their communities?

​- ​

What should democracy in the 21st century look like?

Join our community of civic innovators at the OpenGov Hub to discuss this and more, during an enlightening book talk and discussion about strengthening civic participation and deliberative democracy.

Dr. Hollie Russon Gilman will present her new book, Democracy Reinvented: Participatory Budgeting and Civic Innovation in America, the first

​ in-depth​ 

study of participatory budgeting in the United States. 

Then Tiago Peixoto, Citizen and Digital Engagement expert at the World Bank, will provide a comparative global perspective on participatory budgeting's impact around the world, and will comment on the role and limitations of digital tools to spur democratic revival.
