The PB CLE team

Najah Muhammad

Program Manager

Najah Muhammad is a lifelong Clevelander with a long history of service to community based nonprofits. As Program Manager of People's Budget Cleveland, she’ll run the PB Pilot, in which residents of one Cleveland neighborhood will design a People’s Budget process, propose ideas, and then select the ideas they want to fund. Najah will help bring this experiment in deep democracy to life at a time it's needed more than ever!

Cassie Park

Program Coordinator

Through People’s Budget Cleveland, Cassie is excited to practice more holistic and just systems of democracy while strengthening relationships amongst common people. She brings a persistent curiosity for different ways to listen deeply to Cleveland residents to build a more equitable and resilient society. In this role, she strives to empower victims of disenfranchisement to reclaim their personal passions, community, land, labor, and capital.
