John,

Mayor Michael Tubbs took office in Stockton, California, in January 2017 --
when he was just 26 years old. He was the youngest mayor of an American city
with more than 100,000 residents, Stockton's first Black mayor, and the leader
of a city facing significant challenges. His story has been an inspiration to
many, shared on the TED Talk stage, The Daily Show, and most recently in an HBO
documentary"Stockton on My Mind"
<[link removed]> that premiered
last month. 

Today, you have a chance to hear directly from Mayor Tubbs, as he takes over
Mike's Instagram account for our latest #MayorsTakeThe Mic.

Mayor Tubbs will be answering questions and sharing stories with the nation --
from how the pandemic is impacting Stockton's families, to the community's
effort to #reinventStockton.Mayor Tubbs is also holding two live sessions
today, one with Mayor Melvin Carter of Saint Paul, Minnesota, starting at 5:30
p.m. ET. The two mayors will discuss current events impacting our nation and
their work to push for a guaranteed income. Then at 7:30 p.m. ET, Mayor Tubbs
will hold a live question and answer session.

Since taking office in Stockton, Mayor Tubbs has put forward innovative,
data-driven ideas to strengthen his city. Those have included a pilot program
on basic income, a citywide scholarship program for high school graduates, and
a public safety initiative focused on the less than one percent of Stockton's
population known to commit gun crimes.

We're excited to spend the day with him on Mike's Instagram for our latest
#MayorsTakeTheMic, and we hope you'll join in:
