Our communities are over-policed and under-resourced.
The @ott_alt_budget's Alternative Budget imagines a city with increased funding to mental health + addictions services. Invest in preventative community services + alternative models of community safety!

No one should have to choose between purchasing a transit fare or putting dinner on the table. All public transit in Ottawa should be free at the point of use!

To address the climate crisis with the urgency that is required, we must take action at the municipal level.
In the Alternative Municipal Budget, @ott_alt_budget is calling for the @ottawacity to halt all new investments in fossil fuel infrastructure!

For every childcare spot that becomes available in Ott, there are two children on a waitlist. Our city must invest in childcare to end the years-long waitlists for affordable options. The #OttawaAltBudget outlines a vision for free childcare for all low-income families!
The #OttawaAltBudget shows how our City could cut the police budget, divest from fossil fuel infrastructure, and end chronic homelessness.

While crime rates have steadily decreased over the past 20 years, the Ottawa Police Services budget has ballooned. The #OttawaAltBudget outlines a vision to reallocate 63% of the Ottawa Police Services Budget, and make bold, transformative investment in community services!
The #OttawaAltBudget is a document that attempts to show what the @ottawacity could accomplish if they were guided by a true commitment to values of social equity, human dignity, fairness + environmental sustainability instead of the interests of a privileged few! @ott_alt_budget
The #OttawaAltBudget is an exercise in participatory budget-making that tries to show what could happen if community stakeholders had a real say in the discussion on how our money gets spent!
