Aisha,
I'm happy to add Mariah to our correspondence and thank you for the intro!
Mariah: It's very nice to meet you! We don't have any specific word-count requirements,
but we tend to keep our blurbs pretty short, with links to where people can find more info if
desired. The newsletter is going out Tuesday, so if we could have something by Friday that
would be fantastic.
Thanks!

Good to hear from. Glad you and Josh were able to connect and that PetSmart is expanding its role in the intergovernmental world.
We're still very excited about the dog park. I think we're close to having things in place on the city side - I apologize that we've been the
ones to make things complicated. Colin and the PetSmart team has been great to work with throughout.
Let me know you've got any other questions or if there's anything you need from me.

Good morning Daniel. I hope this finds you well. I wanted to update you on a few things.
1. I spoke with Josh about NCBM. We are going to join NCBM this year once new leadership is installed this spring. We are excited

2. Josh and I also spoke about USCM. He and I are connecting later this week to discuss to giving levels to present at the annual

3. As I understand it, Colin has been in touch with you and others at the City about the PUP. Has there been any recent movement on a

Daniel,
We are finalizing the FY2014/15 Proposed Budget and have included the
following information in the Manager s letter/overview:
Reinstate $392,000 previously approved as one-time funding as ongoing

funding for community support for the Mayor and City Council and provide
funding for the Mayors increased travel requirements associated with his
presidency of the U.S. Conference of Mayors and National Conference of
Black Mayors
To ensure we had the Mayors title correct for these organizations we

checked the websites and were able to verify the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
However, the NCBM doesnt reference the Mayor. Can you please confirm
that the above is correct? We re thinking it might just be a timing issue based
on when he will take office.

Please share with Mayor Johnson. Thanks.
Exciting news! This morning Comcast Executive Vice President David L. Cohen
announced that Comcast has extended Internet Essentials indefinitely ?
beyond its initial three-year commitment.
Internet Essentials is our acclaimed national broadband adoption program for
low-income families. In just two and a half years, we?ve connected more
than 1.2 million low-income Americans, or 300,000 families, to the power of
the Internet at home.
This means that eligible low-income students and their families will continue
to be able to benefit from America?s largest broadband adoption program
providing affordable Internet service, discounted computers, and free digital
literacy training. We also announced more than $1 million in grants to dozens
of non-profit organizations across the country to create Internet Essentials
Learning Zones. The grants are part of a multi-faceted Gold Medal Recognition
Program for communities that have done the most to help close the digital
divide. In addition to the grants, Internet Essentials-eligible families in the
Gold Medal-recognized communities who are not currently customers can
receive six months of complimentary Internet service if they apply and are
approved for the program by March 18th, 2014.
For more information on the extension of the program, as well as the other
enhancements we announced this morning, please read David Cohen?s blog
post, the Internet Essentials press release and our Internet Essentials Fact
Sheet which are attached to this email.
Finally, Dr. John B. Horrigan, head of research for the F.C.C.?s National
Broadband Plan and a former research director with Pew Research Center?s
Internet and American Life Project, released a new study today of Internet
Essentials customers that provides insights on policies that can inform the
design of effective broadband adoption programs. I have attached the
summary of this research and encourage you to review the highlights of the
study.
Thank you for your continued support of Internet Essentials. It?s

organizations and people like you that helped make it a success and play an
important role in closing the digital divide. If you have any questions or
would like more information about how you can take advantage of Internet
Essentials in your community, please do not hesitate to call.

RE: Comcast Extends Internet Essentials and Announces more than $1 million in Grants
Fantastic. Ron is really good people. Very interested to learn whats in store with NCBM.
P.S. Was speaking with a consultant firm we work with here in DC and they mentioned that they
would be willing to help out on a pro-bono basis in rebooting NCBM / organizing the conference if
you all needed additional hands.

RE: Comcast Meeting with Mayor Johnson
Monday, June 11, 2012 2:55:00 PM
Thanks Antonio for following up.
All
The Mayor is very appreciative of Comcasts support of the National Conference of Black Mayors
and looks forward to continuing the conversation that was started with Antonio in Atlanta. Both of
the times you suggested do not work with Mayors schedule while in Orlando. Because he is in a
leadership position within the USCM, the Mayor has several commitments outside of the regular
schedule that he has to make.
As of right now, it will not be possible to secure a time on the Mayors schedule on Friday or
Saturday. The best opportunity to connect with him for a quick introduction may be immediately
following the Jobs Education and Workforce Standing Committee at 4pm on Wednesday afternoon,
or after the Opening Plenary Session on Thursday morning.
We can aim for one of those times if that works for David.
Best,

Mariah
Just wanted to do a quick follow-up from our call on Friday.
We are looking to set up a meeting with Mayor Johnson and David L. Cohen during the US
Conference of Mayors meeting this week in Orlando.

The goal of the meeting would be for Mayor Johnson to share with DLC his priorities locally and
what he has been doing on the education front. While David would look to share with the Mayor
how Comcast is doing both locally in Sacramento and from a national perspective and to discuss our
commitment to education through the Internet Essentials program. Although we are just beginning
to have discussions about it, they may also want to talk about how Comcast is looking to help with
the Mayors push at NCBM.
We have proposed the following times available for a 10 to 15 minute meeting:
Friday, June 15 th
Anytime between 5:30-7
Saturday, June 16 th
Anytime between 10:30-11:30
If you could let Ron and I know if one of these works we would be very appreciative.

RE: Comcast Pre-Planning Disucssion for Education Panel
Wednesday, May 30, 2012 1:27:48 PM
Mariah,
Brief Summary of Comcast Discussion re: NCBM?s Literacy and Technology in Education Panel:
Comcast Panel:
Dr. L.C. ?Buster? Evans, Superintendent Forsythe County Schools, GA: (PowerPoint Presentation4-5 minute)
Will speak from the perspective of the crisis situation (budgeting cuts, poor economy, cuts in
personnel, cuts in programs, drop out rates, etc)
Community was ready to take action. Began Virtual Learning School; which focused on the ?home
school market? and how technology has helped these home school students receive diplomas.
In fact, several have now graduated from school system.
Took a crisis situation and are finding solutions through technology.
Will also recognize Internet Essentials and speak to how this fits in to the crisis situation solutions
and allows students, who could not afford internet, computers, etc., the opportunity to make
learning possible and allows schools and communities to keep the playing field level.
Bailey Mitchell, Chief Technology and Information Director for Forsyth County Schools (Video ? 2
? minutes + discussion 5-8 minutes)
As the Chief Technology and Information Director, looked beyond the school to extend learning.
Created, ?Bring Your Own Technology? which focused on how to leverage devices that each child
may have in their own homes, (iPad, iPod, laptops, tablets, notebooks, even Nintendo), a usable
device for learning. This program works to create and integrate by using Communication,
Collaboration, and Creativity, (there was a fourth ?C? too, but I can?t remember for the life of me
what it was!!). Discuss multiple ways to offer projects and responsible use of each product. This
greatly expanded opportunities. How this too goes hand in hand with the M.O.R.E. initiative and
Internet Essentials.
Stacey Abrahams, Georgia State House Minority Leader and State Representative (5-8 minutes)
Will speak on workforce development and the budget pressures from the state. Discuss how these
types of programs (M.O.R.E. Internet Essentials, Virtual Learning School, and ?BYOT? will help with
budget pressures from the state, as well as inspire students to continue learning!).
Antonio Williams, Director of Government Affairs for Comcast (5-8 minutes)

Will wrap it all up and will bring it all together, focusing on Internet Essentials and how this fits in to
the school system and programs like the MORE Initiative
(There may be one more panelist; however, I do not yet have the name and title of this addition to
the panel)
Hopefully this will fit in with the Run of Show you created and Mayor Johnson?s idea of what
direction the panel will be going.
Also, if you could please send me anything from your standpoint that would help to clarify your
perspective, I would appreciate it.
An aside: Do you know if there is availability to link up PowerPoint and a Video? I?ve been trying to
contact someone at NCBM, but of course they are all very busy!
Unfortunately, I will not be at the conference, but I look forward to speaking with you after the
panel, to see how it went!
I?m sure all the pieces will fit together just right! J
Hope this helps Mariah and please feel free to give me a call if you have any questions.

Dear stakeholders:
Please join us for a conference call on TUESDAY, JULY 16 at 3:30 PM EDT for a briefing on the
implementation of the Affordable Care Act ? specifically the Health Insurance Marketplace. The call will
feature Administration officials from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) who will
discuss how the Marketplace will works, who will be eligible to enroll, and how you can help enroll others
in health insurance. Info on how to receive updates on implementation of the law and where to obtain
helpful fact sheets will also be shared. There will be a question and answer period with Administration
officials on these issues.
Today, one in three Hispanics does not have access to health insurance coverage. We hope that you will
join us to learn more about the Health Insurance Marketplace and the new opportunities for coverage that
will soon be available for the Hispanic Community and all Americans. HHS is on target for open enrollment
in the Marketplace, which begins Oct. 1, 2013. Coverage will begin as soon as Jan. 1, 2014.

This call is off the record and not for press purposes.

Dear stakeholders:
Please join us for a conference call on TUESDAY, JULY 16 at 3:30 PM EDT for a briefing on the
implementation of the Affordable Care Act ? specifically the Health Insurance Marketplace. The call will
feature Administration officials from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) who will
discuss how the Marketplace will works, who will be eligible to enroll, and how you can help enroll others
in health insurance. Info on how to receive updates on implementation of the law and where to obtain
helpful fact sheets will also be shared. There will be a question and answer period with Administration
officials on these issues.
Today, one in three Hispanics does not have access to health insurance coverage. We hope that you will
join us to learn more about the Health Insurance Marketplace and the new opportunities for coverage that
will soon be available for the Hispanic Community and all Americans. HHS is on target for open enrollment
in the Marketplace, which begins Oct. 1, 2013. Coverage will begin as soon as Jan. 1, 2014.
This call is off the record and not for press purposes.

We're looking forward to the meeting with the mayors and Arne on January 17 at
the Capitol Hilton. We're still figuring out the room details, so I'll let you know
when I have confirmation.
We have a few mayors who have already confirmed their participation and our

It would be good for the Mayor and Arne to get on the phone for a quick call
prior to the meeting. Let me know if there are good dates/times that work for
Arne for that.
Any questions, let me know!

Congrats on exceeding the enrollment goal for ACA! Our office and all of the NCBM mayors are very
excited about this important accomplishment. Thank you also for partnering with us on the NCBM
Outreach and Enrollment Initiative.
I also wanted to update you on our internal NCBM efforts. As you may be aware, Mayor Johnson has
been leading a turnaround effort over the last 10 months to restore transparency and accountability to
NCBM. Last week, an Atlanta court ruled completely in favor of Mayor Johnson and the board in a
dispute with the former executive director, Vanessa Williams, who was terminated in September 2013
for misconduct. We can now move forward, without any doubt or confusion.
Unfortunately, we learned that the prior to the court ruling, Ms. Williams, was working with officials in
Bermuda to host an unauthorized conference in the name of NCBM. It has been advertised that the
First Lady would be attending the purported conference in Bermuda to be held in October, which we
know would not be true. Our lawyers are actively engaged with Bermuda officials on this matter, but I
wanted to bring it to the attention of your office.
We look forward to continuing to partner with you. Please let me know if we can be helpful in anyway.

Stephanie

Hi Eric,
I need two questions answered for the Mayor today if possible. He wants to have a conversation
with Vanessa about owning the By Laws discussion during the upcoming Board retreat and being
responsible for the planning of the Annual Convention. As background, I want to tell him who
currently chairs the committees responsible for these two tasks. Can you find out who chairs the
Resource Committee (which, per the By Laws is responsible for the convention) and the By Laws
Committee, if there is one (the By Laws dont indicate who owns this)?

Tomorrow, Ill be the only person from the Mayors Office on the call. My goal is to

Good Afternoon Roniesha,
The education was not initially apart of the agenda because it was discussed during the
conference. However, yes it can be expressed in the goals for 2012 and 2013.
Based on your initial email, our brief meeting tomorrow will highlight the following
items:
1. M.O.R.E. Initiative
2. Board Meeting
3. NCBM Programs
4. Education Committee
Also as stated, please provide the questions in advance so that it will prove to be a

Heather,
I have a few quick questions about the Board retreat that Im hoping you can answer
before our Thursday conversation.
What will be the mayors role and responsibilities at the upcoming retreat?
Response: Mayor Johnsons role will be similar to that during this past Board
meeting at the convention. If there are any addition resolutions he would like
brought before the Board he can forward those to our Office a few days prior
to the retreat to provide time for printing or he can provide them at the
retreat. However, his major responsibility will reviewing and supporting
policies and objectives that he feels best represents the organization.
Who will lead the discussion on the proposed agenda itemsoperations and
finances, bylaws, and 2012-2013 goals?
Response: The bulk of the agenda will be lead by President Bowser. Each of the
Committee chairs will lead their areas of interest; therefore, it is definite that
Mayor Johnson will lead any discussions around education, in addition to any
additional topics once E.D. Williams has solidified the agenda and at that time
those will be forwarded to your attention.
Which of the three committeesResource, Finance, and By-Laws does

Mayor Johnson chair?
o Is he expected to convene his committee prior to the retreat? If so,
what is the expected deliverable?
Response: Based on our records, Mayor Johnson is Chair of the Education

Committee. The Resource and Finance Committees have designated Chairs. I
will follow-up with you regarding the Chair for the By-Laws Committee. To my
understanding, he does not need to convene his committee prior to the
retreat.
I know youre busy, but it will be extremely helpful if you can answer these questions
for me today.
Thanks,
Roniesha

Hi Eric,
I need two questions answered for the Mayor today if possible. He wants to have a conversation
with Vanessa about owning the By Laws discussion during the upcoming Board retreat and being
responsible for the planning of the Annual Convention. As background, I want to tell him who
currently chairs the committees responsible for these two tasks. Can you find out who chairs the
Resource Committee (which, per the By Laws is responsible for the convention) and the By Laws
Committee, if there is one (the By Laws dont indicate who owns this)?
Thanks,
Roniesha

Hey folks,
We've been discussing tracking all of this stuff better, as things have been falling through the cracks.
We've been forwarding stuff with no clear owner for the storing and tracking.
The team has agreed that when you receive something (proof of payment, agreement to sign the
support letter or author the op-ed, etc), you must then also store that proof in the Drive to ensure it
is saved. For emails, we should either copy it into a Word document or print and PDF them, then
save.?

Hey folks,
We've been discussing tracking all of this stuff better, as things have been falling through the
cracks. We've been forwarding stuff with no clear owner for the storing and tracking.
The team has agreed that when you receive something (proof of payment, agreement to sign
the support letter or author the op-ed, etc), you must then also store that proof in the Drive to
ensure it is saved. For emails, we should either copy it into a Word document or print and PDF
them, then save.?
Thanks all.?
Please!

Re: cover letter on ACA
I can meet at 1:30, but I need to be on a call at 2. Is there any other time we can
meet? Or would this not take long?

Did you consider these comments when drafting the letter? I assume some of it
can be included in the commitment form. Can you update that as well. Perhaps we
can meet after lunch (1:30 pm) to go over the many pieces.

Subject: cover letter on ACA
Cassandra,
Thanks for a great call on Monday. We are incredibly appreciative of

the Mayor?s enthusiasm for the ACA.
The toolkit is moving along and we hope to be ready to release next

week. Per our discussion, below are some bullets that the Mayor can
use in writing his cover letter to accompany the packet. Please feel free
to modify, re-word and put into the Mayor?s own voice, these are just
ideas.
Let us know if you need anything else and we will be in touch with an
update on timing for a call with NCBM members and the completed
toolkit shortly.

Thanks,
Kellyn

Re: Crunch Time!
Hey Tiffany,
Happy to share more about the fellowship as it relates to folks interested in education.
Please feel free to fwd this email to them.
Mayor Johnson sits on a national stage due to his education reform efforts. As Chair of
several national education task forces as well as First VP for the National Conference
of Black Mayors, he aligns the work of mayors around the country with his vision for
putting students first.
Locally, Mayor Johnson has several city-wide initiatives that center around education,
including the Sacramento READS! campaign to achieve literacy by third grade, as well
as STAND UP for great schools, a grassroots mobilization organization. In addition, the
Mayor has a bold vision for making our schools more "green," through his Greenwise
Initiative, and this year he brought two renowned organizations, City Year and Teach
for America, to Sacramento. Fellows interested in education will have the opportunity
to work on a project of strategic importance to one of the above-mentioned
organizations or initiatives.
Please feel free to direct people to me who are interested!

Hey Raihane and Mariah,
If you have a short "blurb" about the internship as it relates to
education then I can send it to the education groups and some
of my classmates in my ed policy class here at HKS. I will
definitely include a link to the website, but if you could send me
information on some of the potential education
projects/initiatives then that might create more of a draw for
this audience :)

Subject: Crunch Time!
Everyone,
First of all, thanks to all of you who were able to participate in
the Mayor's visit to Harvard yesterday. MKJ and I were both
very pleased with the events - one of our best visits.
With that momentum at our backs, now it's crunch time to line
up strong candidates for the Summer Fellowship! The deadline
is Friday, April 20 - and it's critical we get a strong batch of HKS
and HBS students motivated and excited to apply and enroll.
Couple of asks - Rai and Mariah will follow up with more:
1. Everyone: Promote the fellowship with your networks
(friends, classmates, clubs, etc)
2. Meera: especially pump up the internship with your
classmates in the Ed Reform class...resend out the application
and materials...remind folks of the deadline, etc
3. HKS folks: hit up key clubs (education, local govt, California,
etc) where folks may be particularly inclined.
4. Anything else you think will help
Thanks in advance!
Kunal

I agree it is a lot. It just depends on how critical Walls is. I think we are trying to
figure out if he is still supportive or not. He had indicated before that he could not
justify paying the dues. He is currently not paid up.
Maybe you just ask Johnny Ford next time you speak with him.

Cant get a response from Walls. There is no change from the info below. I left a
message with City Manager/Clerk, and sent an email. His cell phone is full. He will
not pick up my call nor respond to my other correspondences. This is a switch from
June and early July. I thought Tracy was going to ask Johnny Ford(?) to call him. I
believe that Mayor Walls is the president of the World Conference of Black Mayors.

Kellyn,
You're very welcome. Don't hesitate to let us know how we can continue to be helpful moving
forward.
On the day of action, we circulated information to the NCBM mayors. I will follow-up to get a specific
list for you. Sacramento is hosting events as well. I am looping in Cassandra Jennings who runs
Sacramento's ACA efforts.
Thank you,
Stephanie

Stephanie,
Thanks again for all of your help last week. I know it was a crazy number of events, but we sincerely
appreciate your flexibility and help in coordinating everything.
Also wanted to check in on the ACA Day of Action this Saturday and see if you had a list of events
that NCBM members were hosting so that we can add them to our tracker?
Thanks!

Revised per MKJ:

CC: Aisha
Send same email to advisory board with usual opening.?
s: ncbm board votes to terminate the executive director
dear members of the ncbm board,
thank you to all who were able to join our board call today. i appreciate your
responsiveness and making time to engage is this important effort.
the board passed a motion today to terminate vanessa williams as executive
director of ncbm. a formal termination letter has been sent by our lawyers to her
lawyers and a press release will follow. this is an important step for ncbm and will
allow us to establish new leadership and move the organization forward.
you can expect to receive three things from me next week:
1. board meeting minutes
2. a press release about today's vote
3. an agenda for our board meeting on the 13th in birmingham?
during our board meeting on september 13th (4-5:30pm cst / 5-6:30 est), we will
discuss the future of ncbm and what the next steps are to restore the
organization. please rsvp for that meeting with aishs lowe
(draishalowe@gmail.com; 916-862-1149) and let us know if you can attend inperson in birmingham or join by phone.
thanks,
kevin

Made all of those changes.

Where is that 1-pager Alex?
Still need a link or some details for how people RSVP for Birmingham
CJ: please check the revisions to the ACA section.
Thanks all.
I'd add the date to the rsvp on the Colombia event. e.g. Monday August 12th.
Additionally this looks like the email we would attach the NCBM branded?1 pager
for the Birmingham event if we are still doing that.

Re: Draft of NCBM ACA email
Hi Cassandra,
When we send this out is dependent on another email going to the board about a
prospective board call (an item on which we need to hear back from the law firm).
If we are having this board call, that email will go out first and then this one
separately later this week.
If we are not having a call, then this can go out sooner.
Please continue to check-in on this so it doesn't fall through.
Thanks.

Looks good. I made a few minor additions below.
All,
We need this email to go out today to all NCBM members so that they can hold the date. We will
follow up with more details. We also asked for a reply to me if they are able to attend. I am not
sure whether this will be a stand alone email or included in a larger email. Please advise and

Subject: Draft of NCBM ACA email
Dear members of the National Conference of Black Mayors,
It is my pleasure to invite you to a conference call on the role of the NCBM in the
Affordable Care Act (ACA), hosted by the White House and to be led by Secretary
of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius. This will be a general meeting
for all NCBM members and our first policy/program meeting since the Annual
Conference. We need full participation from all members.
The ACA offers a historic opportunity for millions of Americans to obtain life-saving
healthcare at a low cost. However, too few of our constituents understand their
options and resources for accessing this coverage.
The White House has reached out to the NCBM specifically to help ensure these
individuals do not fall through the cracks in our healthcare system again. As
trusted leaders in the black community, which faces higher rates of many
preventable illnesses, we as Mayors can play a vital role in raising public
awareness in our cities.
Please join us for the call on August 19 from 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM ET/ 12:30 PM 1:30 PM CT. The call-in number and agenda are forthcoming.
Please contact my Senior Advisor, Cassandra Jennings at

cjennings@cityofsacramento.org or 916-919-7766 to let her know if you are able
to participate on the call and if you have any questions.

RE: Draft of NCBM ACA email
Adrianna,
All,
We need this email to go out today to all NCBM members so that they can hold the date. We will
follow up with more details. We also asked for a reply to me if they are able to attend. I am not sure
whether this will be a stand alone email or included in a larger email. Please advise and provide any
comments.
Cassandra
From: lucero.adrianna@gmail.com [mailto:lucero.adrianna@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Adrianna Lucero


It is my pleasure to invite you to a conference call on the role of the NCBM in the
Affordable Care Act (ACA), hosted by the White House and to be led by Secretary of Health
and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius. This will be a general meeting for all NCBM
members and our first policy/program meeting since the Annual Conference. We need full
participation from all members.
The ACA offers a historic opportunity for millions of Americans to obtain life-saving
healthcare at a low cost. However, too few of our constituents understand their options and
resources for accessing this coverage.
The White House has reached out to the NCBM specifically to help ensure these individuals
do not fall through the cracks in our healthcare system again. As trusted leaders in the black
community, which faces higher rates of many preventable illnesses, we as Mayors can play a
vital role in raising public awareness in our cities.
Please join us for the call on August 19 from 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM ET/ 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM
CT. The call-in number and agenda are forthcoming.
Please contact my Senior Advisor, Cassandra Jennings at cjennings@cityofsacramento.org or

916-919-7766 to let her know if you are able to participate on the call and if you have any
questions.

Subject: Draft of Talking Points
Hi Cassandra,
Here is my first draft of the Mayor's talking points. Please critique, and let's review
when you have a chance.
-I still am not sure who will be attending from the White House and DHHS
-I am also not sure if we decided upon any goals/specific calls to action - (eg. 100
events, 1000 constituents enrolled)--I think those things could be good rallyingcries but I am just not sure if they are feasible

Hi Cassandra,
Do you have confirmation of Dwight Jones's NCBM dues payment? I don't see it in

Hi Vanessa,
I hope you had a good day today. Hopefully you aren?t working as late as you were yesterday evening!
Below you?ll find our layout for the education session. As you can see, we?re putting the Comcast portion in
the beginning so that it can get the attention of everyone right at the onset of the session. It will also help
bring the M.O.R.E. Initiative out front and center, as the vehicle for NCBM?s commitment to literacy by third
grade. The Mayoral Leadership Spectrum referred to is from the Mayoral Leadership and Involvement Action
Guide (attached), put out by us this year. It has been shared with Secretary Duncan of the US Department of
Education as well as numerous mayors who find it to be tremendously useful to understand how and why
mayors should become more involved in education. It will be a critical learning tool for this session.
One thing that would be very helpful in our planning is to have a list of registered mayors. My staff has asked
Wynona for this already, but anything you can do to help expedite this request would be appreciated.
Mayor Johnson is looking forward to putting together an engaging, informative session for the mayors. Please
let me know if you have any questions/comments about what I?ve laid out below.

Message Hello Mayor Johnson; my name is Phelicia Jones, MCP.I currently
work with San Francisco Sheriff's Department as a Rehabilitation
Service Coordinator.I am a community mobilizer and I develop and
implement a variety of prevention, intervention programs, including
those for incarcerated/post incarcerated populations.I want to
congratulate you on becoming the President of NCBM.I would like to
meet with you on behalf of Black and Brown people who are
incarcerated by disproportionate numbers. I would like for us to plan a
summit to address Mass Incarceration, The New Jim Crow. I was very
impressed with what you had to say in regards NCBM accountability.
This subject is dear to my heart and we must begin to do something
about it. California incarcerates more African American people than
anyone in the US. I would like for us to plan a summit similar to the
Civil Rights Leadership Nat'l. Ed.Policy Summit you had. I am a very
hard worker and I am willing to do what ever I can to make this
summit happen under the leadership of NCBM. I look forward to the
time and date that you are willing to meet with me to discuss this issue
that all of NCBM's are facing. Thank you for your time and I look
forward to hearing from you.

First attempt for Scruggs....

dear dr. scruggs,
as you may have heard, i am convening a national education reform conference for
african-american faith leaders in atlanta on sep 21. i would like to invite you to give
the opening prayer at this conference. as both a faith leader and civil rights leader,
you can set the tone for an impactful conference.
as the first black mayor of sacramento, ca, i am deeply committed to both education
reform and the african-american community. [insert personal comment about
importance of faith?] i am working to create change both locally and nationally by
playing a leadership role in education reform for both the national conference of
black mayors and the us conference of mayors.
one of my primary objectives this year is to build a national coalition of education

reformers among organizations that serve the african-american community. my
organization, stand up, has identified faith organizations as a key base for these
coalitions. stand up is a nonprofit that supports great schools through local and
national advocacy efforts. the national faith-based education reform conference is a
key piece of my coalition-building effort.
the team has already begun to reach out to participants and we anticipate a crowd
of 100 for the faith-based conference. details are below, and meera krishnan from
my team will follow up.
national faith-based education policy summit

Hi Team,
We have a huge time crunch. We need all of your contacts confirmed by

TOMORROW at Noon in order to give the proper notice for the meeting on Friday,
Sept 6th at 11:30 AM. The action to be taken is to terminate Vanessa.
Instructions:
? We are only reaching out to paid supporters (for voting) as noted below. We
are using Vanessa?s list, plus our confirmations, so these assignments may slightly
differ from what you have had before. I?m including the complete list, e.g. Mayor
Bowser, but obviously, he won?t be attending.
? For opponents in RED, call them ONLY after the supporters are done.
? TPs (per MKJ):
o We have heard from a number of mayors who are calling for

Vanessa to resign.
o We need to take action immediately prior to her going to Columbia
where she could continue to make false claims, and potentially enter
NCBM into more commitments.
o Preliminary findings from our auditors, Glass Ratner show more
than 600k in questionable funds.

o She must go now.
? We need 15 mayors in attendance (of the 28 paid BOD) for quorum

and 8 of the 15 for approval. We can rethink outreach to opponents after
tomorrow if we need more quorum purposes.
? A few additional mayors are listed in Green = Get one of these Mayor to pay
their dues (currently they do not count towards quorum, we only want 1 of them,
so please coordinate, and hold off on this until last).
? Goal: Complete all outreach by noon tomorrow.
I will reach out to you before the end of the day today to get updates.

Hi Team,
We have a huge time crunch. We need all of your contacts confirmed by TOMORROW at
Noon in order to give the proper notice for the meeting on Friday, Sept 6th at 11:30 AM.
The action to be taken is to terminate Vanessa.
Instructions:
? We are only reaching out to paid supporters (for voting) as noted below. We are using
Vanessa?s list, plus our confirmations, so these assignments may slightly differ from what
you have had before. I?m including the complete list, e.g. Mayor Bowser, but obviously, he
won?t be attending.
? TPs (per MKJ):
o We have heard from a number of mayors who are calling for Vanessa to
resign.
o We need to take action immediately prior to her going to Columbia where
she could continue to make false claims, and potentially enter NCBM into
more commitments.
o Preliminary findings from our auditors, Glass Ratner show more than 600k
in questionable funds.
o She must go now.
? We need 15 mayors in attendance (of the 28 paid BOD) for quorum and 8 of the 15
for approval. We can rethink outreach to opponents after tomorrow if we need more
quorum purposes.
? A few additional mayors are listed in Green = Get one of these Mayor to pay their dues
(currently they do not count towards quorum, we only want 1 of them, so please coordinate,
and hold off on this until last).

Dear Mayor Johnson,
Good morning I trust all is well. Per our conversation yesterday, please
see the attached letter inviting you to attend an invitation only
congressional policy summit for the National Conference of Black Mayors.
Emerging Issues Policy Forum in conjunction with NCBM is hosting a
Congressional Policy Summit designed exclusively for NCBM. The summit will
be held during the National League of Cities, March 17th, 1:00 p.m. 5:00
p.m. on the Hill with a reception immediately following where key members of
Congress will attend. The summit will focus on key issues that impact your

communications infrastructure. Please note transportation will be provided
from the NLC host hotel to the Hill.
We will follow up with your office in hopes that you can attend. If you
have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Shea,
Thank you for your message. We have noted your thoughtful
feedback regarding the format of the session.
It was great to see so much interest in the federal agency
representatives during the round table discussion. We have
learned that one of the greatest resources we can provide to
mayors is access to these agencies, so they can be aware of
federal programs that could benefit their cities. Thank you for
your participation and your willingness to return as a speaker
next year.
I will be sure to convey your best wishes to Mayor Johnson. If
you could please convey our appreciation to your colleague at

appreciate it. I did not get her card last week unfortunately.

Hello Mariah,
It was my extreme pleasure to participate during the federal agency

round table at the National Conference of Black Mayors last week. I will
never forget how I was mobbed at the end and Mayor Kevin Johnson had
to tell me to get off the stage! Seriously, it was wonderful to garner so
much interest from the mayors and other participants. I hope that I will
be invited to speak during the next conference. My only suggestion is to
allow the panelists to have more time to speak and add time for
questions. When I usually speak, there?s a short break after the session
to allow the audience to interact with the panelists. This has been very
beneficial.
On another note, I will always have a fondness for CA since I attended Cal
Berkeley and worked in the Bay Area for 7 years. Great job with keeping
the Sacramento Kings in the city! Please send my well wishes and thanks
to Mayor Johnson.
Sincerely,

Shea,
Thank you for your message. We have noted your thoughtful feedback
regarding the format of the session.
It was great to see so much interest in the federal agency
representatives during the round table discussion. We have learned that
one of the greatest resources we can provide to mayors is access to
these agencies, so they can be aware of federal programs that could
benefit their cities. Thank you for your participation and your willingness
to return as a speaker next year.
I will be sure to convey your best wishes to Mayor Johnson. If you could
please convey our appreciation to your colleague at the EPA, fellow
panelist Stephanie Owens, I would greatly appreciate it. I did not get her
card last week unfortunately.
Best,
Mariah

Hello Mariah,
It was my extreme pleasure to participate during the federal agency round table at the
National Conference of Black Mayors last week. I will never forget how I was mobbed
at the end and Mayor Kevin Johnson had to tell me to get off the stage! Seriously, it
was wonderful to garner so much interest from the mayors and other participants. I
hope that I will be invited to speak during the next conference. My only suggestion is
to allow the panelists to have more time to speak and add time for questions. When I
usually speak, there?s a short break after the session to allow the audience to interact
with the panelists. This has been very beneficial.
On another note, I will always have a fondness for CA since I attended Cal Berkeley and
worked in the Bay Area for 7 years. Great job with keeping the Sacramento Kings in
the city! Please send my well wishes and thanks to Mayor Johnson.
Sincerely,

<image002.jpg>

Importance: High
Tanzina,
Thanks for calling to follow up yesterday ? and thanks for your patience. I wanted to pull together a
bunch of background, below, that I hope helps give you a clearer sense of what the White House?s
role is, and how we work with HHS and outside stakeholders and how all the pieces fit into place.
Below is:
? A few explanations of how that all works

? Specific examples of targeted outreach to African-American consumers
? The list of top 25 cities we are targeting to reach the uninsured
? More information from CMS on their paid media ad buys
? And a few examples of some of their paid ads
? The transcript of the press call we hosted a few weeks ago with Mayor Kevin Johnson and a
few other African American Mayors ? this should give you a better sense of what they are
working on too.
Let me know what you think of this and how we can move forward here. If you need to use any of
this for your story, that should be fine ? but again let?s discuss, it would be really helpful for me, as a
next step, to get a sense of what you are thinking of writing. I know you?re working through that
piece on your end.
Thanks!

Background explaining our role and how the pieces fit together:
? The White House helps oversee the larger efforts to help get Americans access to quality,
affordable insurance to ensure that they live up to the vision and promise of the Affordable
Care Act. In those efforts, we work closely with HHS, which is responsible for implementing
the law as you know, and outside stakeholders who are working on health care outreach
and enrollment and share our interest in ensuring that every American who wants access to
their new insurance options is able to get it.
? We coordinate all of our outreach with HHS. HHS has Regional Directors throughout the
country who work with stakeholders on the ground with enrollment efforts. We work with
HHS on those efforts, and talk with their Regional Directors who have the best ear on what is
happening at the local level. Then we figure out how to support their efforts by adding
additional resources, etc.
? With groups, we help amplify their work (identify celebrities or athletes for events) and also
work with them to share best practices on the work they are doing.
? As far as Medicaid and how that interacts with the health care law, under the ACA states
had the option of expanding Medicaid, and a number of them already have. So in states that
have expanded Medicaid, more consumers may be eligible for insurance through Medicaid,
and when they apply for insurance through the Marketplaces may be told that they are
eligible for Medicaid and can enroll for that program, or that they qualify for tax credits
through the Marketplaces and can sign up for private plans. Whether or not a state has
expanded Medicaid, people of course can continue to enroll for and re-enroll for Medicaid.
Let me know if that all clears it up ? but we have been of course calling on all states to
expand Medicaid and here is more info on those efforts.
Background on specific examples of targeted outreach to African Americans, both by us and outside
stakeholders:
? The President has met with both African American clergy in summer of 2013 to request
their partnership on educating the community on healthcare.
The President met with civil rights leaders on February 19 th to as for their partnership to do
something each week to educate and increase enrollment?this has led to op-eds, radio and
tv segments with civil rights leaders and enrollment activities from the major civil rights
organizations like National Action Network, NUL, NAACP to drive enrollment on the ground.
POTUS also has spent time on major African American radio programs that are widely
syndicated across the country like the Steve Harvey Morning Show, Yolanda Adams and
most recently Rickey Smiley who is targeted towards a younger audience.
African American, Greek and civic organizations hosting webinars, enrollment summits,
twitter storms and increased presence on social media encouraging people to sign up.
The administration has also worked in partnership with BET to increase awareness around
healthcare?the First Lady will speak today at their Leading Women Defined Conference with
the top leading women in various industries and they included PSA on enrollment during
their annual Honors Awards Show aired on February 24 th .
Examples of work the faith community is doing:
? One district within the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church out of 20 districts has
made presentations to almost 4,000 people with an estimated reach of more than 60,000
through respective church networks.
? In the hard to serve area of Mississippi, the National Baptist Church (NBC) received the grant
as a Navigator and has been working through its network of churches to help the
community enroll in health care. They are taking lessons learned from those efforts and
expanding nationally through target cities.
? An independent megachurch in Texas (Brentwood Baptist) reaches 2,000 people per a

service where they talk about the importance of getting enrolled in health insurance.
Background on CMS and their paid ad spending:
For the second half of open enrollment (January ? March), CMS is spending approximately $52
million on paid media.
On background:
The campaign uses a range of communications tactics, with an emphasis on paid media and
digital outreach. This is part of our wide-ranging outreach efforts to encourage the uninsured
to explore their coverage options and enroll in a plan that meets their needs and fits their
budget.
General market paid media programming highlights include targeted outreach to young
adults on social media and entertainment websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Hulu, Pandora,
and ESPN.com. Television programming examples include networks such as ESPN and shows
such as Family Guy, Revolution, Arrow, Vampire Diaries, the X Factor and other high profile
sports programming and across other regional sports networks.
CMS has also shifted its creative ad rotation to mostly testimonial-style 30-second ads
featuring the real stories of consumers who have enrolled in a health insurance plan via
Healthcare.gov. CMS qualitative research has shown this style of creative resonates strongly
with the target audience.
CMS is also shifting some paid media budget to CBS? March Madness inventory in our local
targets to capitalize on increased viewership of the first several rounds of the NCAA Men?s
Division I College Basketball Tournament.

Because normal primetime and sports programming tends to take a ratings hit during the
Olympics, CMS shifted some paid media budget to the NBC Olympic inventory in our local
target markets to capitalize on this increased viewership.
Education and outreach is targeted to uninsured people and their families with a specific
focus on young adults.

ON-THE-RECORD CONFERENCE CALL

WHITE HOUSE SENIOR ADVISOR VALERIE JARRETT,
PRINCIPAL DEPUTY PRESS SECRETARY JOSH EARNEST,
MAYOR KEVIN JOHNSON OF SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA,
MAYOR MICHAEL NUTTER OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA,
AND MAYOR A C WHARTON OF MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE,
ON THE IMPORTANCE OF AFRICAN AMERICAN ENROLLMENT IN AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE
Via Telephone
2:19 P.M. EST

MR. MALEY: Thank you, everybody, for taking the time to join us today on this call to discuss
the importance of enrollment in health coverage. As a reminder, this call is on the record without
embargo. And we?re lucky to be joined today White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett; Mayor
Kevin Johnson of Sacramento, California; Mayor Michael Nutter of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and
Mayor A C Wharton of Memphis, Tennessee.
So after some brief remarks from each of our participants, the mayors will remain on the line to
take some questions, and we?ll also be joined by Principal Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest, who
is also on the line from the White House side.
And with that, I?ll turn it over to Valerie.
MS. JARRETT: Thank you very much. And good afternoon, everyone. Thanks for joining our call
today and for your interest in the critical partnerships and collaborative efforts underway to help
more Americans gain health insurance, particularly African Americans and communities of color
who face a disproportionately low rate of coverage in so many of our nation?s cities.
I want to especially thank Mayor Johnson, Nutter and Wharton for their outstanding outreach to
enroll their citizens in Sacramento, Philadelphia and Memphis, respectively. Their work represents
yet another example of the outstanding partnership and shared goals of President Obama?s
administration with cities in every part of our country.
Across the United States, millions of Americans are seeing already the benefits of the health care
law. And, in fact, by the end of January nearly 3.3 million Americans have signed up for private plans
to the federal and state marketplaces. But we still have a long way to go and we want to make sure
that we have used every opportunity for outreach.
African American communities and cities such as Sacramento and Philadelphia and Memphis
have already seen the real benefits from the health care law. Through the health insurance
marketplaces, 6.8 million uninsured African Americans have new opportunities for affordable health
insurance coverage; 7.3 million African Americans with private insurance now have access to
expanded preventive services with no cost-sharing. And we know for women that can include
everything from mammograms and Pap smears and contraception -- all without a co-pay. It also
includes colonoscopies for screening of colon cancer; well child visits and flu shots for all children
and adults -- because the goal is to keep America healthier with very important preventive services
without people having to choose between paying for those preventive services and putting food on
their table or paying for their rent.
Starting in 2014, over 390,000 African American women, who are currently buying coverage
in the individual market, will gain maternity coverage as a part of the Affordable Care Act
requirements for plans to cover essential health benefits. And 4.5 million elderly and disabled
African Americans who receive health coverage from Medicare will also have access to many
preventive services with no cost sharing, including annual wellness visits with personalized
preventive plans, diabetes and colorectal cancer screenings, bone mass measurements and
mammograms.
And about 10.4 million African Americans no longer have lifetime limits on their health
insurance plans thanks to the Affordable Care Act. And of course, insurance companies are now
prohibited from discriminating against anyone with a preexisting condition, which is an enormous
relief to every single American. A preexisting condition can be anything from colon cancer, any kind
of cancer; it can be asthma. It some cases, just being a woman was considered a preexisting
condition. And so now insurance companies are prohibited from discriminating at all. And of
course, now young people are able to stay on their parents? insurance until they reach the age of
26.
But as I said earlier, we still have hard work left to do. Six in ten uninsured African
Americans may be eligible for premium tax credits in the marketplace. Medicaid, or the Children?s
Health Insurance Program called CHIP -- if all states took advantage of the new opportunities to
expand Medicaid coverage, 95 percent of eligible uninsured African Americans might qualify for
Medicaid, CHIP or tax credits to help with the cost of their premiums. And this is so important
because most people will be able to get coverage for $100 or less a month, and that?s just so
important to know that this is affordable for everyone.
With just over a month of open enrollment left, our top priority is reaching every American
who needs access to quality, affordable insurance to help them sign up. And we?re enlisting the
help of mayors across the country and other trusted messengers in these efforts to target the top
markets where we know the uninsured live, such as Sacramento, Philadelphia and Memphis.
Youth organizers and stakeholders who are part of the White House?s Youth Summit back in
December just organized a national youth enrollment day last Saturday, and they?ll continue to hold
organizing and enrollment events over the coming weeks. And athletes and celebrities and other
key influencers with strong platforms that reach the youth and African American consumers are
working hard to get the word out for us.
We?re turning to folks who we know have the power to reach millions through their fans
and their followers. Magic Johnson and Alonzo Mourning are shooting PSAs for us, both who have
been getting the message out across the country. Other athletes are engaged as well. We have
celebrities and household names, and everyone from Aisha Tyler to Kerry Washington, Pharrell
Williams, all who are using social media to help us reach their fans and followers with this critical
important message.
Now, everyone knows I?m partial to the Mayor, as one of the offices I oversee is the Office
of Intergovernmental Affairs. And as the President said in his State of the Union, we?re going to
work with Congress where we can, but we?re also going to strengthen our partnerships across the
country with mayors and governors and state legislators.
And so we know that our best allies in getting the word out had been our state and local
elected officials across the country, and I?m so delighted because today Mayor Johnson will be
releasing a video emphasizing the importance of enrolling in coverage and letting folks know that
the marketplace is open for business. And Mayors Nutter and Wharton have been instrumental in
pushing folks in their cities to enroll as well, and educating them about the benefits of the
Affordable Care Act, and encouraging them to go on healthcare.gov and look at the plans that are
available in their areas and select the one that works best for them.
So now I would like to turn the call over to Mayor Johnson, where he can talk a little bit
more about what he?s doing in Sacramento. Mayor Johnson.
MAYOR JOHNSON: All right. Thank you very much, Ms. Jarrett. We appreciate your
leadership. I want to also thank all the representatives from the White House who are on this call,
and a special shout-out to my two mayor colleagues, Mayor Nutter and Mayor Wharton, for the
great work that you folks are doing in your communities.
I have two perspectives. The first is just being a mayor of the capital of California. And
before ACA, there were 7 million uninsured in California. In the Sacramento region, my area, nearly
300,000 adults lack health insurance. It is estimated that ACA will cut that rate by two-thirds.
Accordingly, California was the first state to pass the enabling legislation to allow the ACA to be
implemented in the state of California, and to establish the first health exchange known as Covered
California. There are about -- we got about 5 million hits for Covered California, the website, in the
first day.
Thanks to ACA, over 12 million Californians who had lifetime caps on their insurance have
now been removed. 640,000 Californians have gained access to health care through county-run,
federally funded, low-income health programs. All of these people were transferred from Medi-Cal,
California?s Medicaid program, at the beginning of the year. 21,000 Californians who were denied
coverage by insurers due to preexisting conditions now have coverage.
So we?re very proud of what?s going on in California. Furthermore, in California,

adolescents of color are more likely than their white counterparts to be uninsured. Therefore, in
California and in Sacramento in particular, we are focused on working with Covered California?s
education and outreach grantees. Through this collaborative effort, we?re reaching out to our faithbased enrollment, having faith-based enrollment day. We?re working with elected officials to
conduct events in their districts. And we?re partnered with a broad spectrum of our communitybased organizations to not only educate but to enroll the eligible for our exchange.
So, again, I?m proud of the work that we?re doing in California, and I?m proud that
California is leading the way.
My second hat, as president of the National Conference of Black Mayors, we recognize the
importance of ACA. We represent over 600 black mayors in the U.S.; represent 48 million people -16 percent of the population. We know our outreach efforts can make a huge difference in this
law. So in August, we launched the Affordable Care Act Outreach and Enrollment initiative, with a
member-wide call, and we were proud that Secretary Sebelius joined our call. We had a number of
mayors on the call, and our goal was to enroll at least 10 percent of the estimated uninsured
individuals in each city who participate in the state marketplace. And our total goal was 100,000
folks represented.
To reach that goal, we were asking every mayor to commit to at least 10 online and offline
actions. They hosted education events, they trained their staff, they shared their links and
information on websites and social media platforms like some of the other entertainers and highprofile individuals.
So in closing, I?m very proud of the work that the African American mayors have done and
the success that they?ve had to enroll the uninsured. And I?m very proud of California, the hard
work that we?ve been doing in our state. We are not done. This enrollment deadline is March 31st,
and we?re going to be competitive and do all we can to get folks insured.
So I want to thank everybody for the opportunity. And I would love to turn it over to the
one and only mayor of Philadelphia, Michael Nutter.
MAYOR NUTTER: Mayor Johnson, thank you very, very much. Mayor Wharton, thanks for being
on the call. Ms. Jarrett, thank you for your leadership again in this regard. And, Keith and Josh,
thank you as well.

The Affordable Care Act clearly is doing something quite incredible, ensuring that millions of
uninsured Americans have access to affordable, high-quality health care plans. Let me get to
Philadelphia though. Right here in our great city, that means more than 210,000 uninsured people
will be able to purchase affordable health care plans in the marketplace. And across Pennsylvania,
that?s more than 1 million people.
We?ve aligned our city departments and agencies. We?re working in partnership with our city
council. And we?ve also developed a partnership with Enroll America, and that of course is the
nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that aims to help uninsured Americans enroll in the new health
care plans under ACA. And we certainly know that the Affordable Care Act is a rather complex law,
and so you need accurate and readily available information provided by a trusted source. And
certainly, we utilize again our city departments and our own Philadelphia city council.
And so through those partnerships we?re getting out the information, and I think that?s been
critical to our success. We?ve had a number of people sign up in Philadelphia, but we still have
much more work to do. And that?s why we?re committing to this partnership and doubling our
efforts, participated in last Saturday?s rollout, and we?re continuing to do any number of things.
Philadelphians need to know what?s available to them and how they can access it. I literally just
finished a meeting about a half hour ago, a presentation by our own health commissioner talking
about the overall health here in Philadelphia. We find that half of African Americans in Philadelphia
have hypertension or high blood pressure. And so many, regardless of race, are experiencing
increases in diabetes, heart disease, asthma and a variety of other challenges. People want to be
healthy. They need health care. We need to get folks signed up. And so the information is available
through the health department?s website. That?s, of course, www.healthcare.gov.
We want to encourage people to check out the GetCoveredAmerica.org for enrolling in this health
coverage. And that information is available by phone and in person as well because of the
navigators on the ground. It is my focus and my goal to make sure that uninsured Philadelphians
have the health information that they need, they can make healthy choices, but also that they
prioritize their health and well-being, and enroll in the health care marketplace.
With that, I?m very pleased to turn things over to Memphis?s mayor, A C Wharton.
MR. WHARTON: Thank you, Mayor Nutter, Ms. Jarrett and Mayor Johnson. Thank you all so
much not only for participating in the call, but what you?re doing out here -- on this. It?s of critical
importance.
We?ve got a lot going on down here in Memphis. First of all, we?re engaging our faithbased leaders; we have regular meetings with them. As a matter of fact, they have a faith-based
council, which has adopted the enrollment process as its number-one priority.
We?re also fortunate to have Seedco here, which is working to consolidate the Affordable Care
Act outreach events on its calendar. And I?ve asked my office of governmental affairs, of
community affairs to work with all the faith leaders to announce within their churches and -- all the
events that they have and to get them all on one calendar. We?re also working with one of our
leading hospitals here, the Methodist LeBonheur network, to work with an operation they have
known as Congregational Health Network, in which they have folks from the various congregations
who actually work in the church and help folks through the health care process. They have a lot of
credibility when it comes to seeking that folks enroll.
And we?re preparing now for a profound, coordinated push in which we will pull together
navigators and certified application counselors from across the city. Seedco will convene these
people for a meeting on February 26th, just a couple days from now, to focus on coordinating a final
push around the ACA. And Seedco is also engaging in its own public relations effort. They?re hiring
a specialist which will just come out and make this last push, just as you would in a political election.
And also, just a couple of weeks ago, I managed to get representatives of all of our major
hospitals. Memphis is a major health center with some of the largest hospitals in the region located
here. I managed to get them all in my office and talk with the emergency room workers -- keep in
mind that the emergency room unfortunately now serves as the primary care physician for far too
many folks here in Memphis and throughout the nation.
So we see that as a teachable, reachable moment not from the standpoint of frightening
anybody, but they?re there. And when you get to the point of asking questions as to who is going to
be the responsible party, that?s a good time. Or if not then, as they receive their discharge papers,
make sure that you get the information. And one of our hospitals has gone so far as to actually have
a station right there. Once an individual indicates that they?re not covered, they can just step right
across the hallway. So we?re going to really amplify those efforts.
And finally, since Memphis is the Soul Capital of the World, we could not do it that?s better
than a video, Mayor Johnson. We have our own recording. Mayor Nutter, we borrowed a
Philadelphia native, Teddy Pendergrass, the song ?Come Go With Me.? And we now have -- it?s
going to be a hit -- it?s called ?The Marketplace,? and it?ll be released real soon, and we?ve shared
it with the White House. Memphis Music Foundation is reaching out to all the local musicians, many
of whom are uninsured. We found that we really have to target some of these subpopulations, and
our lead will be with the musician community with our hit song, ?The Marketplace,? which we?ll
work with our local TV, radio, and social media outlets to push the focal component to the Memphis
campaign.
So, again, thanks for letting me participate. And I?ll stand by.
MR. MALEY: Thank you very much, Mayor. And at this point we?re happy to take some questions
you may have for the mayors and as well as Josh Earnest, who has joined the call from the White
House side as well.
Q Good afternoon, and thank you so much for doing this call. Mayors, I would like to know -and, Josh, if you could also fill in the missing pieces -- how many African Americans do you think that
you have enrolled for ACA since October? Because we?re looking to kind of quantify because we
know that many of the uninsured are from the urban minority component, and I?m particularly
looking for the African American numbers to quantify what you think that you?ve enrolled thus far.
And, Josh, if you can give me the overarching umbrella of African Americans that you believe that
are enrolled or will enroll by March 31st?
MR. EARNEST: April, thanks for the question. I don?t actually know whether or not CMS has data
that is broken down by ethnic group or by race. So we?ll have to check with CMS and see if that data
is available to you. I just don?t know -- I don?t know how and whether that data is collected.
Q Well, would the mayors have kind of a gauge somewhat on the populations that have at least
started to enroll in the marketplace?
MAYOR JOHNSON: This is Mayor Johnson. I?ll make the first just general comment in terms of
NCBM. As I said earlier, we represent 600 black mayors, and they represent 48 million people, 16
percent of the population. In many cases, the majority of the folks that they represent are African
American. And when you look at any indicator, the propensity and the degree that we?re uninsured
is very high, when you think about young people that have preexisting conditions it?s high. So we
don?t have the actual numbers, but we know that the mark that we?re hitting for outreach and
target has been very, very successful. And we, too, are looking forward to getting those numbers at
the end of the day.
Q This is a question for Mayor Nutter. There?s been a lot of coverage about the ?Medicaid gap?
-- the people who make too much money to qualify for Medicaid in certain states because they
haven?t expanded, but aren?t qualifying for these subsidies either. Is your staff or are you meeting
all these people? Are they asking you all -- are they concerned particularly because your state has
not expanded Medicaid yet? How big of a problem are you finding that to be for people right now?
MAYOR NUTTER: Well, this is a significant problem. There are 90,000 people in Philadelphia who
will not be able to take advantage of the Affordable Care Act without the expansion of Medicaid.
And I?ve been very clear and very strong on this particular issue.
We?ve seen states all across the country, some headed by Democrats, some headed by
Republicans, that have expanded Medicaid. And of course, with the -- in essence, they guarantee
that a significant -- 90-plus percent of the costs -- 100 percent, I believe, covered for the first three
years and no less than 90 percent after year three. I mean, that is an incredible infusion not only of
dollars to the state but also expanded coverage.
So there is a great amount of concern about the lack of expanded Medicare -- Medicaid, rather,
in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. And it?s an issue that we continue to press very hard.
MAYOR WHARTON: This is Mayor Wharton from here in Memphis. Tennessee is one of those
states that has not expanded. Of course, the governor is still in negotiations with CMS and I?m
pushing him almost daily -- we?ll be on the phone with his office right after I get off this call here.
We have right here in the city of Memphis 88,000 folks who are uninsured, and Memphis has a high
poverty rate so it?s really an acute problem right here in Memphis. So it is a big, big problem and
we?re going to continue working with our governor as he works with CMS to try to get the
expansion.
Q I was particularly happy to hear Mayor Johnson and Mayor Wharton from Memphis and
Sacramento mention faith-based outreach and the fact that those efforts seem to be working. Do
you guys know, will there be a report, whether quantitative or qualitative, that would sort of
aggregate all of the outcome of those efforts just so we can know? And then also, generally,
because I?ll let you know that this, anecdotally and personally, I?m still encountering a lot of people
in the African American community who are just ignorant still of the law and they?re stuck on some
of the talking points that they?re hearing coming out from opponents of it in the media. And so
there?s still a good number of those people. So will there be some sort of report released soon,
maybe before or after the deadline, just so we can know what the outcomes were of those efforts?
MAYOR JOHNSON: Hey, this is Mayor Johnson. I?ll go first, because Mayor Wharton is really
competitive and he?ll one-up me so I?ve got to get my point out before he does.
So from our standpoint in California, we?re working with the Black Health Network and through
Covered California. We feel very strongly that we?re trying to look at all the qualitative data and the
anecdotal, because we need to learn from it, we want to know how successful we are. We have a
rockstar lady named Darcel who runs it, and it is something that we?re working toward.
MAYOR WHARTON: Let me talk to you on the qualitative side also -- Mayor Wharton, Memphis.
One of the things that is proving to be quite a hurdle is that many of the folks who would benefit
look back in the past and they say, we?ve heard this before but we?ve always been able to get into
an emergency room or the public hospital. Reality just does not seek an end as readily as it should.
And this is where the faith-based communities come in. They have a way, a persuasiveness
of saying, listen, things are going to change, you need to do it, you need to go ahead and get
enrolled; don?t count on the days of old when you could always just show up at the emergency
room, and forcing them with that. They have been able to get care, but things are changing. With
the discontinuation of your DSH payments and access payments things will be much more difficult.
That?s where the faith-based community comes in. You?re dealing with a skeptical public who in
many instances don't trust government. That's the role that the faith-based community can really
play such a pivotal role.
MAYOR NUTTER: I agree with my colleagues and certainly did not mean to neglect to mention the
great work of the faith-based community. And we?re experiencing much of the same response and
reaction. I think the message that they communicate in many instances is that much more powerful
sometimes than those of us who are elected.
Q Hi, this is Sheila Burke with the AP. I wanted to know from I guess from all of you what you
think -- and Mayor Wharton sort of touched on it -- what are the big challenges with actually getting
people to sign up? Is it because they don't trust government? Is it because there?s not enough
information out there? No offense to any of you all, I know you?re trying to get this information
out. And what do you think? Or is it just because Medicaid has not been expanded? What do you
think the big problem is?
And also, Mayor Wharton, I guess since I?m in Tennessee, I was wondering if you could just
confirm, is that Teddy -- you?re going to be using a Teddy Pendergrass song to help people enroll?
And I?m wondering if you could expand a little bit about your efforts through the emergency room
to get people to sign up.
MAYOR WHARTON: Let me take the emergency room because it touches on a part of your
question. I really grilled the emergency room managers when they were in the office. And they said
the cost factor, the sticker shock -- many folks, their minds are shut down immediately because
when you have such a high poverty rate as we do here in Memphis, many of them say that's still out
of my reach.
And you lose them because they're not going to keep their minds open long enough to say, but
you?ll get this back, or there?s help that you can get here. So it?s just -- it?s going to take -- we?re
not going to be able to do this all at once. There?s the sticker shock at any price, keep in mind,
because these are folks who never -- in the past they said, I?ll show up at the emergency room, so
you don't worry about any price. So it?s going to take a persistent, a sustained effort to work
through this with particularly those who are way, way, way below the poverty line.
We have a 27-percent poverty rate here in the city of Memphis. That's been one of the biggest
stickers when the emergency room counselors would say, look, here?s this factor, here?s this, here?
s this; if they just shut down on it and say, no, no, no, I?m not going for that. So we?re going back
and trying to come up with a new curricula, or some other way to deal with that.
Also, the lack of Medicaid expansion has been a big, big barrier here, and that's why we?re still
working with our governor. We?re going to keep pushing and asking him to keep working with CMS
to come up with something that will benefit particularly cities like Memphis and Shelby County,
where 122,000 total are uninsured.
MAYOR NUTTER: I think I?d only add one other thing. You can't deny the impact of the intensity
of the vitriol in the debate around moving toward the Affordable Care Act; all the politics and the
strategy and tactics that were utilized; talking heads on TV -- no disrespect to anybody on the call;
the 24/7 news cycle; the inane at times debates in Congress; the 40- plus attempts to repeal the
act; the lack of expansion in some of the states; and the confusing array of information that's out
there.
The general public, they have real lives, they have real problems, and they don't have as much
time to sit around for esoteric debates about these kinds of issues. So putting all that aside, we?re
going to continue to do our job. We?re going to utilize every partnership, every strategy, every
technique. Obviously, those of you in the media on the call can help just get the information out.
We?re not asking you to take a position on the issue. But an informed America is a better America,
and Americans then will make their own choices about what they want to do.
But how you fight against people getting affordable health care, I?ve never understood that, but
apparently some people engage in those kind of tactics.
MAYOR JOHNSON: This is Mayor Johnson. I?ll just add a couple of just really simple points.
From our standpoint in Sacramento, in California, this is a process. People have to learn about
their options before they're ready to sign up. And again, Covered California did a great job with its
website and getting off the ground the right way.
We?ve had a number of events that we?ve conducted, and people come back-to-back, they come
to each event. And it?s like the scaffolding approach -- the more they learn, they come back, they?
re more excited. So it?s been the process of the information and the outreach that has been very
helpful.
And then the last thing that's been surprising for us is a lot of people are like, is this really going to
happen? Do you mean that we really can go from uninsured and be covered? That law called
Obamacare, it applies to me, like, really? Like it?s almost too good to be true. So for us, to kind of
dispel some of the issues that normal people have in their community has also been enlightening.
So that's kind of the other side of the equation.
Q Yes, mayors, how are you trying to reach out to immigrants in your community, immigrants
from Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, particularly the black immigrants?
MAYOR JOHNSON: Mayor Johnson -- I?ll go first. I think, again, we?ve had a very comprehensive
strategy in California. And in Sacramento, my community through Covered California, we looked at
education and outreach grantees, so collaborating with every organization that you could imagine.
So it wasn?t just the African American community, or poverty-stricken communities. It was
immigrants and everybody included. So we used the faith-based community and we?ve had
enrollment days. We?ve worked with elected officials and their district offices to put on events,
certainly social media and websites.
So we?ve had kind of a broad spectrum in working with community-based organizations to not
only educate, but to take it to the next step, which is enrolling those folks who are eligible for the
exchange.
MAYOR WHARTON: And A C Wharton, in Memphis. I have regular meetings. I have a

multicultural coalition where leaders -- we have so many immigrant communities here in Memphis,
and this the number-one item event. So our outreach is for every subpopulation also.
MAYOR NUTTER: We are broad-based in Philadelphia, one of the most diverse communities in
the country. And we?re reaching out to all of our constituency groups, our immigrant groups,
multicultural organizations, and our multicultural affairs office and faith-based office are actively
engaged in this effort, something that we talk about on a regular basis.
MR. MALEY: Thank you, everybody. Thank you all for joining today?s call. We appreciate your
time. And I want to especially thank Mayor Johnson, Mayor Nutter and Mayor Wharton for taking
the time to join today.
If you have additional questions, please feel free to email us at press@who.eop.gov. And thanks
for joining today?s call.

Dear Mayor Johnson,

It was a pleasure to meet you at the Mayor?s reception at Cableland a few weeks ago as a part of
the Educational Excellence Tour between Denver, Sacramento, San Antonio and Providence. We
briefly discussed the challenges of connecting with communities of color around issues of school
reform and you mentioned an upcoming meeting or conference that will address this concern. As a
school board member in Denver, I am working with a few pastors in our community in Denver in an
effort to bridge the divide between our community and the benefits of educational reform and
would love to connect them to other efforts throughout the country. I would be most grateful if
you would share with me the information about the meeting that you mentioned. I would also love
to receive more information about your local initiative, Stand UP and the Any Given Child program
promoting arts education.
I applaud your leadership as well as the other mayors, not only on the local level, but on the national
level as well. If people of color are not more engaged in the work and the leadership of this
movement, I fear the progress that is desperately need in our communities, will be limited. As a
former member of Denver?s City Council for 13 years, I appreciate the critical role of local
government in being on the front lines of educational reform.
I recently attended the Great City Schools Conference in Albuquerque where there was a
tremendous focus on closing the achievement gap and equity in education. I was disappointed that I
didn?t have the chance to directly engage with the representatives from Sacramento so that I could
gain more understanding about their role in moving Sacramento schools forward. As the continued
exchange between the four mayors occurs, I hope to take advantage of that shared commitment
and the good ideas that emanate from that exchange. (Sounds like a field trip to Sacramento!)
As an avid basketball fan, I followed your career throughout your tenure as a guard with the Phoenix
Suns and I can see that you have transformed your leadership skills, your work ethic and your
strategic knowledge from the basketball court into a powerful agency for change in our country. I
stand ready to support your efforts as well as Mayor Hancock?s in bringing real change to public
education. Thank you,

On the first question, we'll just have to work with the Committee Chairs to make

agenda for that Committee meeting is yet.
Next week is totally good to discuss PreK further.

Rohan, Kellyn, Irene and Elias,
Thanks for a great call this morning. Josh and I wanted to follow up on next steps, which I've laid out
below:
Planning for USCM Meeting in Dallas (June 2014):

Climate Change and Resilience Summit:Josh is doing mayoral outreach to discuss the
Summit this week. He will circulate a one-pager with a proposed agenda/speakers based on our
call today, and I propose a call next week with Josh, myself, Rohan, and USCM to discuss
logistics.
Preschool: We're excited about incorporating a strong WH push for mayoral action around PreK
with our existing conversations with the Clinton Global Initiative around mayoral Commitments to
Action. We are planning to do a plenary session on PreK, and it would be great to understand
from your end:
What are the ideal outcomes? (Ex: 25 mayors make commitments to expand PreK in their
cities)
What resources (grants, partners, etc.) are available for mayors to make commitments?
National Council of Dem Mayors: If you'd like, I can circle up with Virginia Mayer to discuss
the two items we were considering to discuss at the NCDM meeting in Dallas - ACA and Federal
Minimum Wage. Just let me know.
My Brother's Keeper
Let me know if there are any specific programs or initiatives that we should be aware of for both
the NCBM and USCM. As Mayor Johnson shared on the call, he would like to make this a push
for both organizations if it makes sense.
Farm to Fork / Sam Kass visit
Below you'll find a link to one of today's events, where Mayor Johnson will be moderating a
discussion with Sam Kass and Alice Waters. Also this evening, we will have a fundraising dinner
with both guests at Sacramento High School, which Mayor Johnson's organization St. HOPE has
been running as a charter school since 2003. If you'd like more information or would like to
feature any of today's events in your outgoing communications, please let me know and I'll get
you what you need.

Absolutely. Can we make this broader than just resilience? There is so much that mayors are doing

Hi Kellyn,
On the first question, we'll just have to work with the Committee Chairs to make
sure they are open to this idea. It sounds great to me but I don't know what the
agenda for that Committee meeting is yet.
Next week is totally good to discuss PreK further.
Thanks!

THE AUTHORITY ON AFRICAN-AMERICAN CONVENTIONS, INCENTIVES & LEISURE

December 3, 2013
Hon. Kevin Johnson

President
AEHall@CityofSacramento.org
Dear Kevin,
During the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation CBCF

conference in September,it was our pleasure to meet with
representatives from your organizationand the other National
Policy Alliance (NPA) member associations. We provided an
overview concerning the opportunities and disparities regarding
people of color in the more than 2 trillion dollar U.S.
travel/hospitality industry. Our organization, Black Meetings &
Tourism magazine, has identified the top 22 African-Americans
who are Presidents or high-ranking officials at Convention &
Visitors Bureaus in major U.S. cities, and made them aware of
your important organization.
These executives who head the programs to generate tourism

and meeting business from various destinations (including LA,
Calif. & Ft. Lauderdale, Fl.) have expressed an interest in
presenting their respective cities for consideration to the NPA
member associations as a destination of choice for future
conferences and meetings.
BM&T is proposing that the Convention & Visitors Bureaus

(CVBs) of these designated cities host representatives from your
specific organization, along with yourcolleaguesfrom the other
National Policy Alliance member organizations. A participating
CVB will extend an invitation to you to visit their destination and
to participate in a familiarization (FAM) event to introduce their
city to you that would also include a town hall meeting with local
elected officials, business and community leaders.The focus of
the first town hall meeting, organized by Black Meetings &
Tourism, will be ?Building Jobs And Entrepreneurial
Opportunities Through Tourism Initiatives.? In addition to
showcasing all that the city has to offer for your meetings and
conferences, the hosting convention & visitors bureaus will
provide an opportunity for your reps to experience their cities as
they relate to African-American history, culture and attractions.
We think this involvement will create private, public and

community synergies that will benefit all. Please let us know if
there is additional information that you need.
Best regards,
Sol & Glo Herbert
If you are interested in participating in one, or more, 3-day FAM

trips and Town Hall Meeting Forums kindlycomplete the
attached information form and fax back to BM&T's office
at818-709-4753.Someone from our staff will confirm receipt
and follow up with more details.

Dear Mr Mayor,
Thank you for the warm reception at the Indivizable meeting yesterday
and fast follow up. I enjoyed your speach and I can really see your
sincere dedication to help African Americans and the people of
Sacramento.
You mentioned wanting to set a meeting regarding my TV Program "The
Affordable Care Act Explained" which is a 6 Episode Series on the 3
Fox40 channels starting in September. This is the largest TV program
currently planned covering the Affordable Care Act in the US and will
be translated into 10 languages and run on the expanded Crossings TV
networks nationwide. The series will also go to 23 additional markets
in the Chicago tribune TV Networks if ratings are good by episode
number 2.
You also mentioned your position with the Mayors of America
Association and that we should talk. Hope I got that right.
Additionally I will be running collums on the Affordable Care Act in
several ethnic newspapers and several of the California regional
Business Journal editions.
I would welcome a meeting with you to see how we can collborate on my

TV and Newspaper programs to assist you with the Mayors of America or
your efforts in Sacramento.
Please suggest a couple possible times to meet and I will do my best
to accomdate your busy schedule.
I look forward to getting to know you better and a productive next discussion.
Best regards,
Michael

Dear Kevin,
I will be looking forward to hearing from Cassandra Jennings and/or
Mariah Sheriff soon to discuss how we can assist your efforts to get
the word out on the ACA options to the Black community and Sacramento.
We will be able to assist you to help them with making "better
informed decisions" about their healthcare future under the Affordable
Care Act.
Additionally we are going to be reaching out to ethnic communities and
chambers to get their "Greats of Medicine" and "Family Healthcare
Struggles Stories" included in our program content, to help draw out
the talent of the ethnic community in medicine and the good that
providing health care does for the people of Sacramento and the US.
Let's talk soon as the content is currently in production and
opportunities for inclusion will get slimmer as the weeks progress.
Best regards,
Michael

Mayor, great being with you again at the AEG event this week. Thanks for reaching out. I am cc'ing my
business partner Matt Rodriquez as Robin Richards (CEO of Tweet My Jobs.) Robin's company is what I was
explaining to you, how they can dramatically increase efficiencies in filling job openings with those looking
for work. It's an amazingly powerful resource that Cory Booker, Kasim Reed, Gov. Duval Patrick, the
Governor of Puerto Rico and others have purchased and are huge advocates of as they work to increase
the employment rate in their cities and states.
Robin will be at NCBM in ATL next week. I assume you'll be there? If so, can we set a meeting with at least
you and Robin? Not sure on my travel schedule yet. I think you'll be very excited after seeing a short 5
minute demo.
Thanks and let me know if we can set something up.
Best,

Thank you for the note. It was great seeing you last month at the Executive Leadership Council Gala.
And congratulations on becoming the Chair of the National Conference of Black Mayors ? the
NBCM is fortunate to have you as the Chair. I know that David Cohen, Tony Williams and others at
Comcast are working with the NCBM regarding sponsorship support. I told them that we connected.
Take care and let me know how I can be helpful.

it relates to NCBM and ACA in preparation for the aboard meeting and the White

Kevin, thanks for this. I have been looking for a way to write this exact story. I wrote a piece
about Rahm taking on school issues and then the Cleveland piece. We had hoped to get a
much bigger story out of it one day soon, but then the WashPost ran a story on this issue so
we needed to search for a new angle. You?ve given me a lot here to work with. My editor is
on a 2-week break so I will talk to him when he gets back. I like this line:
?we are breaking and questioning the traditional bonds of of democrats with unions and some civil
rights organizations and i think this trend will only continue.? The civil rights angle adds a bit of a new
twist. I shall do a bit of research and chat with my editor when he returns and get back to you!!

stephanie,
hope you're well. i definitely think there's a story in the growing momentum in education reform
amongst democratic mayors. it's increased significantly over the 3 1/2 years i've been in office and i
only see it expanding from here. let me give you a quick example. last year, i became chair of the us
conference of mayors' task force on education. i wanted the uscm to take a meaningful stand on ed
reform, so we introduced a resolution against lifo (last in, first out policies). as you may know, the
uscm resolutions are typically very safe ones, so this was venturing into new territory. as a result, the
nea and aft lobbied mayors hard to strike the resolution down. but because of the support of mayors
like antonio villaraigosa from la and francis slay in st. louis, it passed. this year, we decided to get even
more aggressive and introduced 5 resolutions, including parent trigger, and teacher evaluations. despite
the fact that these are quite controversial policies, we were able to get 26 mayors to co-sponsor these
resolutions and all 5 passed unanimously. i proposed the same 5 resolutions at the ncbm (national
conference of black mayors) conference (where i serve as first vice-president and head of the education
committee) and again, all 5 were passed. mayors have begun to realize that they can not have a great
city without great schools. they're tired of seeing the abysmal achievement levels in their cities
(knowing the connection between education and a skilled workforce as well as crime) and they're taking
a strong stand now.
five years ago mayors (and in particular democratic mayors) taking such pubic stands was virtually
unheard of. you had individual mayors (menino, daly, bloomberg, booker) taking on education reform
in their cities, but no consensus amongst mayors around these issues. that is absolutely shifting. we
are now working together and supporting each other in these efforts. for example, i met mayor frank
jackson (cleveland) through my work in education at the uscm. based on that relationship, he reached
out to me when he wanted to increase his authority with the schools. i connected him with michelle
and students first, who help craft the legislation and whose members lobbied for the legislation to pass
in columbus. it's also spurred us to convene the mayors of the 8 largest cities in ohio to come together
to discuss ed reform more broadly. what makes this unique is that you had a democratic mayor who
cooperated with the republican governor and legislature (despite the opposition of some dem
legislators) to get this done. i think dem mayors have much more ability to work with republican
leadership in their states to make this happen than congress does.
i also visited bridgeport ct, at the request of mayor bill finch to meet with civil rights and faith based
leaders in the african american community to get them to support the recent legislation in ct. last week
in philly at the uscm leadership conference, mayor nutter hosted a screening of "won't back down" (the
new major motion picture about parent trigger) and mayors participated in a panel discussion about it
and how to spur more ed reform in their cities.
we're seeing it here in california too. through the ca mayor's education roundtable, we had a "listening
tour" in 5 of the largest cities in the state on education reform and the mayors will be sharing what
they heard with secretary duncan in september and collaborating with their superintendents to craft
"race to the top" applications for city level awards. in doing that, ca mayors are taking on issues like
teacher evaluation, which our legislature has been unwilling to move.
we are breaking and questioning the traditional bonds of of democrats with unions and some civil rights
organizations and i think this trend will only continue.
happy to speak more about this or provide more examples if it'd be helpful. i've also copied mariah
sheriff from my team if you need more information.

Hi Adrianne,

I've just received confirmation from Ms. Williams that Friday, July 27th at 12PM EST will work. She
did however want me to give her apologies in advance. She will be preparing for her travels to Israel
that following day so she will not be sitting down at her desk for the call. So depending on the kind
of information Mayor Johnson may require on the call she may not be able to pull it for him right
away.

interest in the federal agency representatives during the discussion. We have learned that
one of the greatest resources we can provide to mayors is access to these agencies, so
they can be aware of federal programs that could benefit their cities.

Hi Crystal,
We spoke just now - I called from Mayor Kevin Johnson's office in Sacramento regarding the National
Conference of Black Mayors (NCBM). As promised, I'd like to introduce you to Mariah Sheriff (cc'ed), our
Director of Intergovernmental Affairs. Can you assist us in setting up a call between Mariah and Mayor
Davis on Monday, to provide Mayor Davis with an update on the NCBM?
In addition, I look forward to receiving the fax from you confirming Mayor Davis' payment (fax number
916-808-7456).

HI Meera. I am pleased to loop you and Mariah with Dennis Bega, who not only directs our regional
office in Atlanta but oversees all our regional operations nationwide. More importantly, he is a
tremendous resource of information and a genuinely nice guy.
Dennis did share with Stacey and me some of your conversation about the lack of education funding
among small town mayors, particularly those clustered in the South.
We?ll put our collective heads together and figure out a strategy (with you) to be more helpful in
this area.
Thanks,

Dear Adam,
I hope you're doing well - it was great to have Secretary Duncan and David Johns in Atlanta with us last
week for the National Conference of Black Mayors meeting.
At the NCBM event, I was speaking to a gentleman named Dennis from your office. He mentioned that
he'd like to follow up with us on how your office can connect with small Black mayors (especially
Southern mayors) in order to better inform them of programs available to them from the DOE.
Would you mind putting us in touch with this gentleman, so we can follow up with him directly? (I
apologize - I didn't catch his last name, but I'm hoping you can help us identify him.)
Thanks,
Meera

Brian,
Thank you for your message. While Mayor Johnson has relationships with the Superintendents of the five
school districts here in Sacramento, he does not have governance authority over the school districts.
Therefore, we would be unable to influence any decisions that the school districts make regarding
projects they take on.
I'm sorry we can't be more helpful.
Best,
Mariah

Dear Mariah,
Thank you for the reply!
We shall greatly miss Mayor Johnson?s service! But we accept his response.
Yes, I would require something from you. Besides the broader project design of the ?Be a
Partner Be EDOU Ambassador? campaign, there is a component I suppose you can assist. For
instance while leaving out the ?Sacramento ? Kampala Dream Convention? which probably
only Mayor Johnson could do, through this campaign we want to reach schools ? students
advocacy, the IHavDream Schools Festival activities. There is also the Uganda Charity Tour
Initiative. This is where I suggest you could still assist this cause. Assistance here could be in
linking us to some people who can directly support like introducing us to a school director, etc.
By providing that vital link, still you will have assisted in the realization of this ?Dream? of
giving an education to children who otherwise are unable to. Look at the concept for the
campaign I have attached. I will hope to hear from you. Thank you.

Some additional detail on the half of funds going to States that would be distributed to support projects
most needed:
States would make the determination of what projects are most needed using objective criteria, such as
the fiscal capacity of districts, the percentage of children who are from low-income families, and the
needs of districts for assistance. The needs of districts for assistance might entail factors such as the
condition of their school facilities. The states criteria would have to be included in their application
to the Department.
From: Honeysett, Adam

To: 'Mariah Sheriff'; adperez1@gmail.com; Sprow, Stephanie
HI Mariah. To ensure that public schools in the most disrepair will be able to make necessary
enhancements, almost 40% of the funds will be directed toward the 100 largest high-need districts.
Each of the 100 districts with the largest numbers of children living in poverty would receive a formula
amount proportionate to its Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Title I, Part A allocation
within 60 days of enactment. The remaining roughly 60% will be awarded to states based on their Title
I shares. States would direct half the funding to districts on a formula basis and half through a TBD
application process in the most high-need districts, with a priority for rural districts.

Hi Stephanie,
I have one more follow-up regarding the list I sent you this morning. This is a point of clarification. The list of
66 mayors I sent your way are all on the USCM Education Reform Task Force. Among the 66, we have 15
members of the Secretary?s Mayors Task Force and 12 members of the National Conference of Black Mayors
Education Task Force. The remaining 39 are mayors who are just members of the USCM Education Reform
Task Force. Those lists are below for your reference.
Also, could you please CC Alice and myself on the mayor?s invitations?
Thanks,

Hello All,
I have received confirmation from Newark (Jarrad Toussant, Sr Education Advisor), LA (Joan Sullivan,
Deputy Mayor of Education) and Memphis (Bobby White, Chief of Staff) that they will be attending the
call tomorrow. I have directed them to email Adam as well.
With Mayor Johnson, that puts us at 19 mayors. I also feel confident that we will have at least 3-5 more
from my phone calls with the following mayors offices:
Cleveland
Seattle
Oklahoma City
Denver
Hartford
Tulsa
Rochester
Pembroke Pines
Nashville
Boston
I also resent the invitation plus a reminder message to the remaining mayors office assistants. A few
more should come from that.
Looking forward to tomorrows call!
Best,

Some additional detail on the half of funds going to States that would be distributed to support
projects most needed:
States would make the determination of what projects are most needed using objective criteria,
such as the fiscal capacity of districts, the percentage of children who are from low-income families,
and the needs of districts for assistance. The needs of districts for assistance might entail factors
such as the condition of their school facilities. The states criteria would have to be included in their
application to the Department.

Each of the 100 districts with the largest numbers of children living in poverty would receive a
formula amount proportionate to its Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Title I, Part A
allocation within 60 days of enactment. The remaining roughly 60% will be awarded to states based
on their Title I shares. States would direct half the funding to districts on a formula basis and half
through a TBD application process in the most high-need districts, with a priority for rural districts.

determined (based on the clause in the AJA that the $25B pledged to modernize public schools will
go to schools most in need). Adam, maybe you could help us out with this?
