#CitiesWinWithData

[Simone Brody @simone_brody]

40 cities around the country have now achieved
@WhatWorksCities Certification, up from 9 just 3 years ago. Wow!

Data is helping cities meet residents' needs, address inequity and take bold action. Congrats to the incredible city leaders driving this movement!

A key diff for Dems in 2020 vs. 2016: Joe Biden has quietly kept both his left flank and Wall St from rebelling against his econ platform.

One big reason why? Ben Harris, the most important Biden adviser you haven't heard of.

My colleague Maia and I explore some of the early practices that cities are sharing/adopting to help those that are hit hardest by the novel coronavirus.

Our team here @WhatWorksCities are keeping a resource bank of local government practices in the response to COVID-19. This will be updated regularly, but dive in, learn and then tell us what we've missed https://t.co/no07gScm5d

Thoughtful analysis and examples of how a commitment to equity, and use of the right questions and good data & analysis, can produce real results. Worth watching the ongoing learning of @WhatWorksCities (one of most impt impact-at-scale efforts in US.) https://t.co/2np9hxDCa2

Cities are working tirelessly to help residents reach their potential and realize the American Dream. We're excited to support the efforts of these 10 incredible cities and share learnings to help many more. @whatworkscities @BloombergCities @ZachMarko

[What Works Cities @WhatWorksCities]

In my career, says @simone_brody, I've learned data didn’t always illuminate answers. Sometimes it just illuminated the right place to start a conversation: with quality, nuanced information that we could use to help chart a path to improvement. #CfASummit #civictech #govtech

[Simone Brody @simone_brody]

A HUGE congratulations to this year's Certified Cities! We're wowed by the incredible work you to everyday to improve the lives of your residents; and we're so excited to celebrate you.
