Community-oriented Nashvillians are invited to complete the 2024 Nashville People's Budget Survey (5 min, English/Spanish)! Responses will help build a people's budget platform that we'll use to push for a more just + equitable city budget. Closes May 1. bit.ly/npbcsurvey24
Metro Council had pre-budget public comment at tonight’s meeting. For nearly 2 hours, Nashvillians continued to ask that the city better invest in our communities. Here are my comments.
Angela is a 32yr MNPS employee. It might seem like we’re talking abt the same thing every year but every year it’s about the children, it’s abt affordable housing. We don’t have enough $ in our checks. Look in your hearts & your budget & give us the 5% COLA & give us all our days
James says we are on the right trajectory from last year and we need to continue to bring up the lowest paid among us. A 5% COLA will help 👏🏼
Mason is at RN at NGH and Union steward. We need a subsidies for patients who can’t afford healthcare. Nashville’s charter says will care for all patients. We do & but we need support. Join our town hall on April 14 at Bordeaux library. And remember we need a new facility!
Lisa is a children’s librarian & union steward. We’re overjoyed to see capital investment in libraries but need major maintenance in existing buildings. Branches are closed all the time. Bellevue is closed now and it’s a major voting location. Other buildings are 82 degrees.
Magda works in the library. My paycheck is the only thing keeping my family in our house. Metro workers don’t get raises or bonuses like the private sector. NPL is bleeding people. The COLA is the only guarantee we get.
Donna Clay, MNPS member says we have working parents who need to give up their job bc they can’t afford childcare. We work every day but can’t afford the city we love, where I’ve lived for decades. We need 5% COLA, and hold the school board accountable to do it too.

Tom Maxwell suggests reallocating funding for the police force to other public safety initiatives: Housing, robust rent assistance, community organizers/vigilance committees, robust expansion of mental health/addiction/disability resources, city-wide participatory budgeting
@TheTNHoller This is technically a TN Cop City (for TDOS, Homeland Security, & TDOC) that is located in Nashville. MNPD still wants to build their own separate cop city. Which means we may have 2. Unless we say, as they have in ATL, that "cop city will never be built." nashvillepeoplesbudget.org/2023/08/08/mnp…
We believe in a Palestine, a TN, & a world without police occupation & violence, a world in which everyone has what they need to thrive & be free. Full statement & action steps here: nashvillepeoplesbudget.org/2023/11/06/sol… Ceasefire now. End the occupation. Free Palestine. Stop Cop Cities.
“we received the feedback that the White House believes the Public Safety Training Center is exemplary of what President Biden would like to see other municipalities emulate.” Cop City, coming soon nationwide.
“we received the feedback that the White House believes the Public Safety Training Center is exemplary of what President Biden would like to see other municipalities emulate.” Cop City, coming soon nationwide.
That so many “cop cities” are popping up (e.g., Baltimore, Nashville, SF, ATL) as cities are being inundated with houselessness, unaffordability, and human misery means that surveillance, punishment, and incarceration are elected influencers’ chosen solutions to poverty.
