Welcome to NCDM
The National Conference of Democratic Mayors (NCDM) gives Democrats a unified voice with which to advocate on behalf of American cities. And what an exciting time to be a Democrat!
Senator Obama just released his Plan for Supporting American Prosperity. It is refreshing, motivating and long overdue! Barack Obama has had a lifelong commitment to the people and neighborhoods of America's cities. His plan for urban prosperity acknowledges the significant role that cities play in stimulating the economy and generating the ideas that make this country great. He recognizes that real change starts from the bottom-up, not the top-down.
Senator Obama calls for creating a White House Office on Urban Policy, is committed to fully funding the COPS program, wants to make long-term investments in education, language training and workforce development, and recognizes the importance of rebuilding and modernizing America's infrastructure.
Senator Obama's Urban Policy is posted on the Election Central page of our website for your review as is his response to the U.S. Conference of Mayors' 10 Point Plan. I encourage you to read it. I think you'll share my enthusiasm and hope. And I encourage you to get involved in this election — and speak out at every opportunity you get.
I look forward to your active participation in the National Conference of Democratic Mayors.
