Since taking office, Kevin Johnson has worked aggressively to reform education, including passing resolutions and supporting policies to empower parents to turn around failing schools and to ensure effective teachers are in every classroom.
We applaud Kevin for his efforts to make Sacramento more green and our cities more sustainable. He facilitated Sacramento’s selection as one of the first five cities in the US included in President Obama’s Better Buildings Challenge to improve energy efficiency in commercial buildings. Thanks to Kevin, it was also one of just two cities to get chosen by the US Green Building Council to receive green retrofits for public school buildings. He also launched the Greenwise Joint Venture and ten-year Greenwise Action Plan to create 14,000 green jobs by 2020 and transition 2,400 homeless to permanent housing.
Please join us for a fun lunch in support of the talented and hardworking Mayor of Sacramento Kevin Johnson (and not to mention NBA and Cal Basketball legend)!
