Peace in Our Cities’ statement of solidarity in urban responses to COVID-19.
“As mayors, city leaders, and civil society we are on the forefront of saving lives, providing relief, and managing uncertainty in our communities as the pandemic spreads across the globe. For us, saving lives means relying on facts, science and public health expertise. Providing relief depends upon solidarity among our residents, our governing institutions and hard-working people who run our essential services.
Managing uncertainty behoves all of us in leadership positions that, going forward, we redouble our political commitment to building a safer, more just, and equitable future.”
