Posters, door hangers, and yard signs

An easy way to increase visibility of participatory budgeting is to post print media in high-traffic areas around town.

First, get in touch with your point person (email info@pbevanston.org if you don’t have one yet).

Next, decide what areas you’d like to cover with your point person to coordinate with other volunteers. Also decide whether you should advertise a specific event of PB more generally.

Arrange to get materials from your point person. If you can print your own materials, you can download the graphics files below.

When you go to post up materials, make sure to go with a friend and check that you have permission to post.

Hand bills

4.25x5.5’’ small flyers are useful to hand to people both to get their attention and also for them to take if they don’t have time to stop and talk

Door hangers

An easy way to tell your neighbors about participatory budgeting is to use door hangers. If your neighbor happens to be home, you can also have a 1-1 conversation with them about PB. When going door-to door:

  • Always go with a friend

  • Door-to-door canvassing from 9am-9pm to talk about PB is political speech protected by the first amendment

  • You CAN post door hangers

  • You can NOT put flyers or other material into mail boxes or slots

  • You MUST respect no soliciting signs

Yard signs

If you or your neighbors want to make PB more visible in the neighborhood, use a yard sign.

Make sure to follow Evanston’s ordinances on outdoor signs.
