your2centspdx.bsky.social @your2centspdx.bsky.social · 02/10/2026More than 7,000 cities around the world have used participatory budgeting to give residents a say in how public dollars are spent. Your 2 Cents is working to make that a reality in Portland. The people who know what our neighborhoods need are the people who actually live here, NOT lobbyists. 121
your2centspdx.bsky.social @your2centspdx.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Notice how many of those things are connected to how our city chooses to invest public dollars? That’s why Your 2 Cents would give Portlanders a real voice in deciding how 2% of our city budget is invested. You know your own neighborhood. Portland should trust that knowledge. 032
your2centspdx.bsky.social @your2centspdx.bsky.social · 19/09/2026fall is almost here… 🍂 checklist: ☑️ drink something pumpkin-flavored ☑️ find the perfect rainy-day playlist ☑️ romanticize a walk through your neighborhood ☑️ decide what YOU would spend 2% of Portland’s budget on 🪙 okay, that last one might be the most important. what’s getting your 2 cents? 👇 000
your2centspdx.bsky.social @your2centspdx.bsky.social · 11/09/2026There are many highlights to Portland’s participatory budget measure - swipe right to hear a few & share this post with your friends! 122
your2centspdx.bsky.social @your2centspdx.bsky.social · 28/08/2026We’re grateful to have the support of City Councilor Sameer Kanal (@kanalforportland.bsky.social), who understands that Portlanders deserve more say in how our city’s public money is spent. As he put it: “Portland is ready. Portlanders deserve it.” 020
your2centspdx.bsky.social @your2centspdx.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Your 2 Cents would give Portlanders another way 2 participate: deciding how to spend 2% of our city budget. Participatory budgeting has already been used around the world. And Portland has something those cities don’t always have: the conditions to do this even better. High turnout. Vote-by-mail. 000
your2centspdx.bsky.social @your2centspdx.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Portlanders already have ideas about how to make our city better. What if we actually got a say in where some of our public money goes? Your Two Cents would give Portland residents the power 2 decide how 2% of our city budget is spent every year. What would you choose? #YourTwoCentsPDX #Portland 141
your2centspdx.bsky.social @your2centspdx.bsky.social · 22/08/2026We’ve been rolling around Portland all summer, and we’ve heard plenty of ideas for making our city better. Better parks. More support for local artists. Safer streets. More investment in kids. Everyone has their 2 cents. We think everyone should have a say, too. ✌️ — Heads & Tails 🪙 010
your2centspdx.bsky.social @your2centspdx.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Young people aren’t just the future of Portland. They’re already helping shape it. 🤝 Meet Lisbeth Marquez-Delgado. In East Portland, she was one of more than 1,500 young people ages 13–25 who helped decide how to invest $500,000 in recovery funds. Your Two Cents PDX will build on that success. 021

your2centspdx.bsky.social @your2centspdx.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Here's the thing: Your Two Cents doesn't change how much money the city spends. It just changes who decides how a slice of it gets spent: 2%. Money the city was going to spend anyway, moves from lobbyists and politicians to the people. That's what they don't like. That's exactly why we need it. 120
