My last job as chair of @USmayors Jobs, Education & Workforce Committee was winning bipartisan passage for our guaranteed income resolution. Turning gavel over to Mayor @MichaelDTubbs, whose 1st job is making it reality.

The man is non stop. Leads like he's running out of time.

"Long-term thinking is not partisan or ideological. It is about articulating shared values, understanding the landscape of change ahead, and acting in the present to make preferred futures happen." Great words from @iftf's @dunagan23

[Anne-Marie Slaughter🇺🇦 @SlaughterAM]

That's precisely what we should be doing as well.

[Nan Whaley @nanwhaley]

Serious question. How can Trump think he can open anything up when he hasn’t closed anything? The only leadership we are seeing in this national disaster is coming from state and local leaders.

[Institute For The Future @iftf]
