Loved every minute of time spent in Phoenix last week with the @USAccelerate team & partners!
I appreciate all of our @USAccelerate partners, including mayors from across the country, who visited Phoenix this week. As a critical avenue for cities to collaborate and share solutions, convening in Phoenix speaks volumes to the ongoing successful work we're doing.

"History has taught us time and again that inequality and imbalance are not sustainable," says @FordFoundation president and @ImpactInvestUS chair @darrenwalker. https://t.co/miUUKMJX2z
