The rosy economic promises of sports teams hardly ever come true. Subsidies for sports facilities cost taxpayers more than they get in return. Real economic development happens when we invest in public goods that improve the lives of everyone. Check out this panel on Thursday.

I will be moderating a panel of local & national experts on the economic impact of publicly funded sports facilities. Transparency & knowledge makes 4 better decisions. I encourage ⁦@StateofOhio⁩ ⁦@CuyahogaCounty⁩ & ⁦@CityofCleveland⁩ elected officials to join.

Join us at the downtown library on Thursday! Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, and the State of Ohio are being hit with outrageous demands to subsidize sports facilities with public tax dollars. It’s important for public officials and all taxpayers to understand the true costs.

As we said clearly during the Issue 38 campaign, our city needs more democracy, not more power to status quo politicians and the billionaires and wealthy developers who fund them. This legislation moves us in the wrong direction.

Today, we have an urgent opportunity to stand up for democracy: On Thursday, @CleCityCouncil introduced rushed legislation to double campaign contributions limits. Council plans to vote on this legislation Monday, just four days after introducing it.

We encourage Cleveland residents to add your name to this letter denouncing the legislation and its rushed timeline. This legislation will ‘pad the campaign coffers of sitting council members by increasing the power of the wealthy.' The rush to pass this undermines public trust.

Today residents of LA are voting on how to spend public money in their neighborhoods. This is part of LA REPAIR, an effort to reinvest in historically marginalized communities. @lacivilrights

Participatory budgeting is an important part of an economic justice agenda that centers Black lives, is the case @PBProject makes in 'The Vision for Black Lives: An Economic Justice Agenda' series by @npquarterly.

"Keep the teams in KC" is a threat. Don't let them threaten us while they ask us for a $2 billion handout.

Students and staff at CMSD are justifiably outraged the new CEO wants to end the People’s Budget-like process started in 2023.

People of all ages value having real power to make real decisions.

Once you’ve experienced that, there is no going back.

Please take a second to write! Slipping an anti-PB amendment into a bill is trying to send a signal to municipalities in Ohio that might want to create local laws that threaten corporate special interest.

[People's Budget Cleveland @PB_Cleveland]

ACTION ALERT: As expected, Ohio lawmakers haven't forgotten about participatory budgeting. While SB 158 hasn't returned, similar language targeting PB slipped into a new bill that is slated for a vote TOMORROW. Take 3 min to submit opponent testimony here!
