NCBM_ConventionlArticle_LiteracyViolence.docx
Hi Khaalid and Symia,

Thank you so much for your help on the convention article on literacy and violence
for the National Conference of Black Mayors. I used the Gang Task force grant data
and remixed it with other materials on the Gang Task Force and literacy.
Please see the attached draft and let me know if you have any thoughts or
comments. Feel free to use track changes, hand mark up, or just shoot me a few
bullets.
I would love to get you feedback by tomorrow morning, so that I can send this to
Aisha tomorrow, then put it in the Mayor's weekend binder on Friday.
Many Thanks!
Stephanie

NCBM conference - Secretary Duncan"s Attendance on May 31st
Wednesday, March 06, 2013 4:07:11 PM
Hi Adam,
I spoke to Mayor Johnson and Vanessa Williams, the executive director of NCBM, about the
Secretarys attendance on Friday, May 31 st. Mayor Johnson is scheduled to give his presidency
kick-off speech that same day during a luncheon at 11:30 AM - 1 PM EST. It would be great if the
Secretary could speak during a session immediately after lunch (1:30 2:30 PM), or sometime in the
afternoon, so that the Secretarys session is the first big kick-off session of Mayor Johnsons
presidency.
Of course everyone will be flexible to accommodate the Secretarys schedule if another time is
preferred. Thank you again for all of your coordination efforts.
Best Regards,
Stephanie

NCBM_VanessaVisit_MKJmeeting_Agenda_Final.docx
Hi Daniel and Cassandra,
NCBM has asked that MKJ provide an article on literacy and violence for the convention program.
He has provided articles in the past as he is the 1st VP and the Chair of the Education Committee.
Mayor has asked that you both sign-off on the draft before I send it over to NCBM (attached and
copied below).
I worked with Khaalid on the gang task force content and Symia on literacy. Both Aisha and Ben
have already revised, reviewed, and signed-off.
Please let me know if you have any comments. I would be great to have your sign-off by end of day
Tuesday.
Separately, Vanessa Williams, the executive director of NCBM will be here on Monday and I try to
bring her around so that you can meet her. I am attaching her full day agenda. She will also be
speaking at Indivizible.
Many Thanks,
Stephanie

NCBM Convention Article

Education: The Solution to Violence in Our Communities
As mayors, one of our primary responsibilities is to ensure the safety and security of our citizens.
Safety is the most basic survival instinct we all share. Unfortunately, our cities are not as safe as they
could and should be. In 2011, the FBI reported that there were 1.4 million active gang members in
more than 33,000 gangs in the United States.

African American youth are disproportionately impacted by gang violence. According to the National
Gang Center, 32% of all reported gang members are African American, yet only 13.6 % of the total
U.S. population is African American. Youth and gang violence impacts us all. It threatens the safety in
our neighborhoods, in our schools, and in our homes. Therefore, it is vital that we, as African American
mayors, come together to address the underlying causes of this issue.
National Trends
A report by the National Council on Crime and Delinquency identified several risk factors that increase
the likelihood of gang membership among youth. These factors include poverty, substance abuse,
poor parental supervision, low parent education, frequent truancy, and ready access to drugs and
weapons. Youth subject to these risk factors are the same children impacted by low literacy rates.
Children with low levels of academic achievement are 3.1 times more likely to join a gang. Thirty-five
percent (35%) of academically low-performing children became delinquent compared with only about
20% of academically high-performing children. Literacy represents a key determinant of academic,
social, and economic success.
Given the connection between illiteracy, gang activity and delinquency, we have great reason to be
concerned about our African American youth. Eighty-nine percent (89%) of low-income African
American fourth grade students scored below proficient on the National Assessment of Educational
Progress (NAEP) reading test as compared to 76% of their low-income White peers and 70% of their
low-income Asian peers. Those low literacy rates are correlated with higher involvement in the juvenile
justice system and a greater likelihood of dropping out of school and of becoming a teen parent. The
Literacy Project Foundation reports that three out of five prisoners cannot read, 85% of juvenile
offenders are functionally illiterate, and some states even project the number of prison beds they will
need based on third grade reading scores.
This is a community crisis that we must tackle head on has community leaders.
Community Strategies
Frederick Douglass once said, It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. Mayors
and community leaders must work together to develop creative and innovative strategies that shift the
paradigm for combatting gangs and violence from suppression and incarceration to prevention and
education.
Mayors Gang Prevention Task Force
To that end, we established the Mayors Gang Prevention Task Force in the City of Sacramento in
February 2011 to address gang-related issues facing our city. The purpose of the Task Force is to
bring together community and faith-based organizations, neighborhood leaders, school officials,
government and all stakeholders within the Sacramento community to address a spike in incidents
related to youth and gang violence.
The Task Force facilitates the community discussion on youth and gang violence and developed a
comprehensive citywide gang prevention strategic plan. The Task Force has four key goals: (1)
increase school based supports and enrichment activities to facilitate student achievement, (2)
empower the community leaders to address gang involvement and create safe neighborhoods, (3)
provide workforce readiness and other positive alternatives for at-risk youth, and (4) develop regional
collaboration around law enforcement, awareness, and gang prevention programming. This year, the
Task Force has partnered with local law enforcement agencies and area merchants to facilitate a
citywide gun buy-back program where Sacramentans may anonymously, and without fear of
prosecution, turn in unwanted or illegal guns in exchange for gift cards. This strategy has been
successful in cities across the nation and is one mayors should consider replicating.
Sacramento Safe Community Partnership

Sacramento also works with faith-based organizations through the Sacramento Safe Community
Partnership (SSCP) to hold small town hall-style meetings (call-ins) with youth that are at the highest
risk of being subject to violence. During these call-ins, a host of community stakeholders from clergy
leaders to trauma nurses share powerful anti-violence messages. SSCP is based on Bostons wellknown Ceasefire initiative. Replicating a successful model is an effective and efficient way to address
these issues. Mayors should leverage the National Conference of Black Mayors and other mayoral
associations to exchange best practices that have proven successful across the nation.
Sacramento READS & the M.O.R.E. Project
In addition, gang and violence prevention initiatives must be coupled with a focus on improving
educational outcomes. To address early literacy, one of the primary risk factors for gang membership,
I launched Sacramento READS! with five partner school districts to increase third grade reading
proficiency from 37% to 80% by the year 2020. The National Conference of Black Mayors is also
tackling the literacy crisis through the M.O.R.E Project (Mayors Organizing Reading for Equality)
launched in March 2012 which helps mayors address early literacy through library assistance projects
and giving them tools to establish public-private partnerships.
The litmus test to determine if we are successful as mayors is whether we are facilitating successful
outcomes for our constituents that need us the most high risk youth that are targets of gangs and
violence need us now. I urge you to join me in my commitment to providing young people with the
tools and education they will need to be productive citizens. Together we can make a significant
difference in the health and safety of our neighborhoods for generations to come.

NCBM Convention: Secretary Duncan"s Remarks
Friday, May 03, 2013 2:22:40 PM
Hi Adam,
I hope all is well. I just wanted to follow-up on the Secretarys remarks at the NCBM convention on
Friday, May 31st. Do you have a sense of what priorities will be addressed? As you are aware,
Kimberly provided the priorities that David Johns would like to discuss (noted below) in the
education working session that will occur immediately after the Secretarys keynote. Will the
Secretarys remarks coordinate with the working session?
I know we discussed in the past having the NCBM mayors discuss priorities with the Secretarys
speech writers, however, Mayor Johnson would like to defer to your office so that the Secretary may
use this time to highlight any of the Administrations priorities.
Enjoy your weekend.
Stephanie
David Johns Working Session Priorities:

Early Learning
College Affordability and Quality
Raising Up the Teaching Profession
Aligning Job Training and Education Programs with Workforce Demands
Protecting Formula Programs for At-Risk Populations
Building on the Momentum for Innovation and Reform

The White House

Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
November 14, 2011
We Can't Wait: Health Care Innovation Challenge will improve care, save money, focus on health
care jobs
New funding available for next generation of health care innovations
WASHINGTON, DC -- Up to $1 billion dollars will be awarded to innovative projects across the

country that test creative ways to deliver high quality medical care and save money. Launched today
by the Department of Health and Human Services, the Health Care Innovation Challenge will also
give preference to projects that rapidly hire, train and deploy health care workers.
?We?ve taken incredible steps to reduce health care costs and improve care, but we can?t wait to
do more,? said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. ?Both public and private community organizations
around the country are finding innovative solutions to improve our health care system and the
Health Care Innovation Challenge will help jump start these efforts.?
Funded by the Affordable Care Act, the Health Care Innovation Challenge will award grants in March
to applicants who will implement the most compelling new ideas to deliver better health, improved
care and lower costs to people enrolled in Medicare, Medicaid and the Children?s Health Insurance
Program, particularly those with the highest health care needs. The Challenge will support projects
that can begin within six months. Additionally, projects that focus on rapid workforce development
will be given priority when grants are awarded.
?When I visit communities across the country, I continually see innovative solutions at the very
ground level ? a large health system working with community partners to decrease the risk of
diabetes with nutrition programs or a church group that sends volunteers to help home-bound
seniors so they can live at home,? said Donald M. Berwick, M.D., administrator of the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services. ?By putting more programs like this in place and more ?boots on the
ground,? these types of programs can truly transform our health care system.?
Awards will be expected to range from approximately $1 million to $30 million over three years.
Applications are open to providers, payers, local government, community-based organizations and
particularly to public-private partnerships and multi-payer approaches. Each grantee project will be
evaluated and monitored for measurable improvements in quality of care and savings generated.

Hello Ms. Williams

I wanted to follow up with you regarding my previous email requesting a Request for Proposal for

NCBM invites for Feb 25 Vice President event
Monday, February 10, 2014 3:32:05 PM
Good Evening Kellyn,

I am Mayor Johnson's contact point for black mayors. I just wanted to close the loop on the February
25th Vice President event invite list. Mayor Johnson wanted me to follow-up on Mayor William Bell
(Birmingham, AL) and Mayor William Johnson (Holly Hill, SC) who were omitted from the invite list. Is
it possible for them to be included, or was there a reason they were omitted initially?
Thank you for all of your assistance on this.
Best Regards,
Stephanie Mash

NCBM Mayoral Alert: NATIONAL DRUG CONTROL STRATEGY CONFERENCE CALL
Wednesday, April 24, 2013 10:44:38 AM
Dear Mayors,
Today, the Obama Administration released a science-driven plan for drug policy reform in America. This 21 st century drug policy outlines a series of evidence-based reforms that treat our
Nations drug problem as a public health issue, not just a criminal justice issue. This policy will underscore what we all know to be true: we cannot arrest or incarcerate our way out of the drug
problem.
Instead, this 21 st century approach to drug policy is built on decades of research demonstrating that addiction is a disease of the brainone that can be prevented, treated, and from which
people can recover. The Presidents plan reflects this understanding by emphasizing prevention and treatment programs over incarceration, by replacing tough on crime approaches with
smart on crime approaches, and by making access to treatment a reality for millions of Americans. In fact, the Presidents 2014 budget requests $1.5 billion more for treatment and
prevention programs compared to 2012 the largest requested increase in at least two decades. This will support the expansion of treatment to tens of millions of Americans through the
Affordable Care act.
Please join National Drug Control Policy Director Gil Kerlikowske and Associate Director, Heather Foster to discuss the 2013 National Drug Control strategy.
Call-in: Participants need to preregister for this teleconference at http://ems6.intellor.com?p=600054&do=register&t=1
Passcode: After you preregister at the above link you will receive a confirmation page which will display dial innumbers and a unique PIN. You will use your unique PIN to participate in the
conference call.
