Deeply grateful to spend time at the Winter Conferences of U.S. Conference of Mayors and the Mayors Innovation Project. From supporting our residents across the span of their lives, to supporting each other, to upholding our Constitution, it was a full and full-hearted week.

New data from the @MayorInnovation: women mayors face steeper barriers to doing their jobs—undermined, second-guessed, held to higher standards with fewer supports.
🚨For women mayors of color, the gaps are wider.🚨
The tools of racism are available, and people use them.

“I don’t know if America is ready to talk about the steps that are giving greater permission & room for violence.”

Protected bike lanes work. Cities that build them see ridership double, even in cold-weather months.
If you build it safe, people will ride. #BikeSafetyMonth ⤵
