The following proposal was passed at the General Assembly of Occupy Boston on February 25, 2012:
The Participatory Budgeting Working Group proposes to spend 15 minutes of Tuesday’s GA for a presentation about how the participatory budgeting process will help us transition from a traditional laissez-faire resource allocation system to one that better reflects direct participatory democracy. After the presentation, there will be 15 more minutes for small group discussion.
