In Nov. 2021 after ten years of our evolving mission and impact, we changed our name to Gathering Ground. You may still find reference to our old name Creative New Jersey in posts created prior to Nov. 2021.
Led by Nisha Thomspon (Participatory Budgeting Project), this Briefing will break down what participatory budgeting is – a democratic process that allows communities to directly decide how to spend part of a public budget – and how community members can work towards making public budgets more equitable and effective.
“It was a delight to work with all of you on this initiative that is so critical to the future of our community. I have lived and worked in Atlantic City for 26 years. During those years, I have heard and read about so many “plans” that never were brought to completion. Thanks to Gathering Ground, we now have a blueprint for success. What you have done for us will impact the lives of so many people for years to come.”
