This document is our strategy to make Philadelphia one of the safest cities in America and to improve the well-being of our most important asset - our children. Improving our city's safety is a goal that we all share, and so I hope that, in this plan, you share our commitment and determination to rid Philadelphia of the violence that haunts our city and holds back many of our citizens. I have heard countless people say, "What is different here? We have tried again and again to solve this problem, and yet the violence continues." My answer is simple. Rather than tell us what we need to do to prevent youth violence in Philadelphia, this plan describes those outcomes on which we must concentrate. By focusing on the outcomes and holding ourselves accountable to achieving those outcomes, we keep our eyes on the prize. In other words, while the programs and services needed to achieve these outcomes may change depending on the times, the outcomes remain the same - allowing us to be flexible while focused on the single goal of preventing youth violence in our great city. The stakes are high. Over the past six years, 5,051 young Philadelphians ages 14 to 24 years have been shot or killed. Adding even more urgency to this issue, many more young people have witnessed violence, some multiple times. I hold steadfast to the belief that babies in Philadelphia are not more predisposed to violence than babies in any other city or town. We can and must be doing more to prevent our youth from a life of violence. I would like to thank the leadership of our co-chairs, Commissioner Anne Marie Ambrose, Judge Kevin Dougherty and Commissioner Charles Ramsey. Join us as we implement this plan. Together, we will build a safer city that gives our children the freedom and the opportunity to make our city shine even brighter. Sincerely, Mayor Michael A.

    September 20, 2010 The Honorable Harry Reid The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Majority Leader Speaker of the House United States Senate U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable John A. Boehner Minority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Senator Reid, Senator McConnell, Madam Speaker and Mr. Boehner, As members of Building America’s Future, we write to urge action by the House and Senate on legislation that will create a National Infrastructure Bank to help our cities and states find additional methods of financing for projects of regional and national significance. President Obama reiterated his support for this idea on September 6, 2010 and we applaud that announcement. As you may know, the U.S. Conference of Mayors recently endorsed this concept for its potential to correct the dire state of disrepair in which we find our nation’s infrastructure – our roads, bridges, transit systems, drinking and waste water systems and our broadband network. The House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Select Revenue Measures recently held a hearing during which Governor Ed Rendell (D-PA) and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (D-Los Angeles) testified about the need for a new entity to focus our nation’s investment power around key projects of regional and national significance. Congress has failed to pass a six-year transportation bill and, as a result, there is no national vision as to how we will plan for the next decade and more. The economic challenges we still face are all the more reason for us to look to the future and find new ways to create jobs, rebuild our decaying infrastructure, improve our quality of life, increase safety and keep our nation economically competitive.

  • A Coalition to Protect and Grow National Service
    A Coalition to Protect and Grow National Service Membership Overview About Voices for National Service PARTNERING TO PROTECT AND EXPAND NATIONAL SERVICE Voices for National Service is a coalition of national, state and local service organizations working together to build bipartisan support for national service, develop policies to expand and strengthen service opportunities for all Americans, and to ensure a robust federal investment in the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). Voices for National Service was founded in 2003 in the wake of a successful campaign to save AmeriCorps from sudden and significant proposed cuts. The national service field organized and launched a successful “Save AmeriCorps” campaign that ultimately restored--and in fact increased--federal funding for CNCS and AmeriCorps within one year. Following the successful 2003 Save AmeriCorps campaign, the national service community established Voices for National Service, a permanent field-based coalition dedicated to protecting and growing the federal investment in national service. City Year serves as the organizational and operational host of Voices for National Service and the coalition’s work is guided by a Steering Committee of CEOs of service organizations and leaders of state service commissions. The work of Voices for National Service is made possible through membership dues, philanthropic grants and gifts, and annual support from co- chairs and members of Voices for National Service’s Business Council and Champions Circle.
