We strongly urge you to provide $105 billion to state and local entities to protect those who are unhoused and those on the brink from becoming homeless from COVID-19 through the Emergency Solutions Grant Program and rental assistance programs for low-income individuals and families. There are an estimated 568,000 people experiencing homelessness on any given night in America, according to the most recent Annual Homelessness Assessment Report to Congress. This includes 171,670 people in families (including children), 35,038 unaccompanied homeless youth, and 96,141 chronically homeless individuals. We are very concerned because our neighbors experiencing homelessness reside in public spaces and congregate in shelters, where they may have higher exposure to the virus. Further, nationally, people experiencing homelessness have more limited access to the preventive measures recommended by the nation’s health authorities, including, social distancing, home isolation, handwashing, avoiding high-touch surfaces and rapid access to health care.

    August 31, 2020 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Chuck Schumer Majority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy House Speaker Minority Leader United States House of Representatives United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Leader McConnell, Speaker Pelosi, Leader Schumer, and Leader McCarthy: We write to urge you to include language in the next the coronavirus relief package to extend statutory reporting deadlines for the 2020 Census by four months. Further, we implore you to include language to extend the deadline for data collection to October 31, 2020. We are alarmed by the U.S. Census Bureau's August 3rd announcement that it would finish collecting data for the decennial count by September 30, 2020. This move will rush the enumeration process, result in inadequate follow-up, and undercount immigrant communities and communities of color who are historically undercounted. Senior career staff at the Census Bureau have publicly stated that meeting the statutory deadlines is impossible because of the delays that have already occurred. This decision to rush the Census in the wake of a pandemic raises concerns about the Bureau’s ability to accurately and completely count every person living in the United States. A rushed Census would hurt a diverse range of rural and urban communities, leaving them underrepresented locally and in Congress and cutting their fair share of federal funding for Medicaid, economic development, child care, schools, road and public transit improvements, home heating assistance for senior citizens, and many more vital services.

  • Big City Mayors Support Local Economic Development Through
    May 6, 2019 The Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor Office of the Governor California State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 The Honorable Toni Atkins President Pro Tem California State Senate State Capitol, Room 205 Sacramento, CA 95814 The Honorable Anthony Rendon Speaker California State Assembly State Capitol, Room 219 Sacramento, CA 95814 Re: Support Local Economic Development Through Opportunity Zones Dear Governor Newsom, Senate President Pro Tempore, and Speaker Rendon: As you know, Opportunity Zones were developed as a bipartisan idea that garnered more than 100 co-sponsors in Congress and were later included as part of the Federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. With the potential to drive private capital to long-overlooked parts of the country, Opportunity Zones are positioned to be an important new community and economic development tool to create an incentive for long-term private investment in urban, suburban and rural communities. California has identified 879 census tracts as Qualified Opportunity Zones (QOZs), representing 4.2 million individuals, or 10.7% of the state population. The State is at a pivotal moment to shape the incentive toward community benefit, and that, if done right, Opportunity Zones can be an important tool that will advance our shared priorities of economic growth, climate resilience, affordability, and access to the California Dream. With that in mind, we urge you to adopt the following strategies: 1. Clear reporting and transparency requirements for OZ funds and projects. The federal legislation creating Opportunity Zones did not include meaningful transparency and reporting requirements. California should require annual reporting from Opportunity Zone investors and Qualified Opportunity Funds.

  • Sent a Letter
    March 26, 2020 Dr. Steven Dillingham, Ph.D Director United States Census Bureau Washington, DC 20233 Dear Dr. Dillingham: Given the unprecedented events associated with the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, we urge you to extend the Census response deadline beyond its currently scheduled conclusion on August 14, 2020 to September 30, 2020 and authorize United States Census Regional Offices to exercise flexibility in the timeline for enumeration in their respective jurisdictions. As our cities continue to dedicate resources to respond to this outbreak and take strong precautionary measures to ensure social distancing, there will be diminished capacity to administer the Census. A Census count under these circumstances would not only fail to properly account for our current population, particularly our most vulnerable residents, but could also have dire consequences for our communities’ public health. Over the past two years, our cities have worked with thousands of community-based and faith-based organizations to develop a wide array of targeted outreach strategies to educate and motivate residents to respond to the 2020 Census. These outreach strategies heavily rely on direct, face-to-face communication and interaction with residents to encourage participation in the Census and overcome barriers to participation that cause many communities to be historically undercounted. With the mandated cessation of all large gatherings and the imposition of social distancing practices, our cities and partners have had to cancel meetings, workshops, community and neighborhood events, as well as a variety of door-to-door canvassing operations. We know that none of these tried and true outreach methods are possible in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, and that any Census count that occurs without this outreach will cause an historic and extremely damaging undercount.

  • DID YOU KNOW? Even Less
    The fight for racial and gender equality is on the ballot in California. In California, we believe in giving everyone, regardless of race or gender, an equal shot at fair wages, good jobs, and quality schools. But we’re not there yet. By ending California’s ban on affirmative action, Prop 16 levels the playing field for women and people of color so we can all succeed together. The Affirmative Action Ban: A Past That Divides Us California banned affirmative action in 1996 when Republican Governor Pete Wilson and his allies continued to use race as a political wedge and spearheaded the passage of Proposition 209. Since then, the State of California has denied Latinos, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, Black Californians, and women valuable opportunities that are The ban on affirmative action is harming proven to reduce discrimination in our schools, Californians in many other ways too: workplaces and communities. • Women still earn less than 80 cents for every dollar a white man earns on average, and women of color and single moms make less DID YOU KNOW? even less.

  • Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals – Mayor Garcetti
    April 13, 2020 The Honorable Chad F. Wolf Acting Secretary Department of Homeland Security 245 Murray Lane, S.W. Washington, DC 20528 Dear Secretary Chad F. Wolf, We write on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients who call our cities and this country their home. As we face an unprecedented health crisis, we want to ensure that DACA recipients are supported during these difficult times. We respectfully request that you protect the nearly 700,000 DACA recipients awaiting a decision from the Supreme Court on the future of the program by automatically renewing all DACA work permits expiring in 2020. As our nation fights the COVID-19 pandemic, automatically renewing the DACA employment authorization documents that expire this year will ensure that DACA recipients continue to seek medical care, as needed, without fear and, for those who are also healthcare providers and essential workers, that they remain in the workforce. In the midst of this pandemic, the interruption in deferred action from removal and employment eligibility for DACA recipients may create uncertainty and discourage some from getting tested and seeking medical attention during COVID-19. As stated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it is critical that any individual who has been exposed to COVID-19 and develops symptoms related to the virus, calls their healthcare provider for medical advice. It is extremely dangerous for our country to have DACA recipients, and other immigrant communities, be afraid to seek medical care during this time because it jeopardizes entire communities and undermines our efforts to address this public health crisis.

  • Mayors for a Guaranteed Income Receives $15 Million Grant from Jack Dorsey
    Mayors For A Guaranteed Income Receives $15 Million Grant from Jack Dorsey New funding helps launch guaranteed income programs helmed by member mayors in 25+ U.S. cities STOCKTON, Calif — December 8, 2020; 9AM PT -- Mayors For A Guaranteed Income (MGI) today held a press call announcing a second grant of $15M from Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey through his #startsmall initiative. This builds on Dorsey’s initial donation of $3 million in July 2020. These new funds are already being allocated to launch or expand guaranteed income pilots in U.S. cities including Columbia, SC; Los Angeles, CA; Madison, WI; Pittsburgh, PA; Providence, RI; Richmond, VA; Tacoma, WA; Saint Paul, MN; and New Orleans, LA, with more cities to be announced later. The full recording of the press call can be found here. Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs, who founded MGI following the demonstrable impact of Stockton Economic Empowerment Demonstration (SEED), the first mayor-led guaranteed income pilot, said: “We are a nation in crisis and the last one of this scale yielded dramatic social reform; this is our New Deal moment. We need a social safety net that goes beyond conditional benefits tied to employment, works for everyone and begins to address the call for racial and economic justice through a guaranteed income. These pilots and the resulting evidence will be instrumental in shaping what the 2021 social contract looks like in America.” Laura Kidd-Plummer, a recipient of guaranteed income in Stockton joined a press call hosted by MGI and said, “I’m breathing a sigh of relief at this point because without being with SEED, or being a participant, I don’t think I’d be sitting in this chair right now.” Mayor of Madison, WI Satya Rhodes-Conway said: “I am deeply appreciative of this seed funding which will allow a group of Madison families to chart their own path toward financial stability.

    Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Minority Leader Chuck Schumer Speaker Nancy Pelosi Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy Dear Majority Leader McConnell, Minority Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi and Minority Leader McCarthy: As Mayors, we write to urge you to include The Pandemic Response and Opportunity Through National Service Act in the next COVID-19 relief package. The bill, introduced this week by Senators Coons and colleagues in the Senate and Representatives David Price (D-NC), Doris Matsui (D-CA), Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) and Tom Cole (R-OK) and others in the House, would provide a comprehensive, locally focused, national service strategy to help communities, including ours, respond to and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. As our own cities and the country as a whole, contemplate the future, we know that the challenges to recovery – for our grieving families, shuttered schools and churches, and halted economy – are manifold. And as you know, the road to normalcy will require more than economic stimulus, even historic levels of it. We should call on Americans across the country to step up and contribute through service. President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) to help America recover from the Great Depression. The 21st century version of the CCC, AmeriCorps and Senior Corps members, are already actively helping respond to the pandemic. They are serving at drive-thru testing sites, providing child care for health care workers, helping deliver food and life-saving medicines to our most vulnerable, supporting students struggling with distance learning, checking in on isolated seniors, and more. But we need their help in far greater numbers if we are to successfully recover from one of the greatest challenges our country has ever faced.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 16, 2018 CONTACT: [email protected] GOVERNOR-ELECT NEWSOM to DEPLOY AMBASSADORS ACROSS STATE
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 16, 2018 CONTACT: [email protected] GOVERNOR-ELECT NEWSOM TO DEPLOY AMBASSADORS ACROSS STATE TO ENGAGE CALIFORNIANS IN “ALL IN CALIFORNIA” TRANSITION PROCESS SACRAMENTO – Last week, Governor-elect Gavin Newsom launched a more inclusive, people-powered gubernatorial transition called “All In California,” offering Californians from every walk of life the opportunity to participate. Today, he announced the “All In California” Ambassador program, which identifies respected leaders from across the state who will help source more ideas and more perspectives, reach more Californians where they live and work, and encourage the engagement of California’s diverse communities in this unique transition process. The Ambassador program designates an expanding list of transition representatives who will encourage California’s communities and organizations to spread the word about opportunities to engage in the “All in California” process and the future of California. It is one of multiple ways in which Californians will be able to directly participate in the transition and help ensure that California's government reflects the diversity and dynamism of California itself. “These respected leaders will help me as I search for innovative ideas and talent across this state,” said Newsom. “I want every Californian to know that during this transition, I want to hear from you – no matter where you live, no matter who you are, no matter how you vote. This will be your administration.” Both as mayor of San Francisco and California’s Lieutenant Governor, Newsom has been a vocal advocate for civic engagement, government reform and employing bottom-up approach to problem-solving.
