They are considering pilot meetings (probably New York, Detroit, Atlanta) at which 10-20 representatives of the local corporate structure will generate ideas and lay the groundwork for local action. The first meeting would be held early in October. Under consideration for follow-up to the local meetings is a national meeting to launch plans for assisting local private employment programs. The task force also plans to prepare a handbook for the initiation and development of local task forces on private employment. LOCAL COALITIONS Cities in which local coalitions are already in the process of formation--or are likely to be--are being identified. These cities will be contacted to send representatives to a national meeting in Chicago on October 18. At this meeting there will be presentations on the techniques of establishing · and operating local coalition task forces on private employment, legislation (public service employment) and communications. Meanwhile, staff liaison from the Coalition will be available to any city coalition working in these three areas. Hopefully 50 or more local coalitions will be in operation by early November. NOTE: All members of working committee were asked to immediately contact their principals and urg e them to contact key people in local communiti es who could be helpful in establishing local coalitions as emphasi z ed in the Coa lition's Statement of Principles, Goals and Commi tments. PUBLIC SERVICE EMPLOYMENT The t a sk force urged members of the working committee to relay to their principals the need f or t e legrams, calls and letters in support of the Clark-Javits bill.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT By the National Coordinators: October 9, 1967 FACILITIES A short-term (6 month) lease was executed in late September for 1900 square feet of space in the Federal Bar Building West (1819 H Street, N .W .); and the coordinating office was completely moved in and functioning by September 26. The decision to move from 1717 Massachusetts Avenue, where Urban America is located, was made after it was determined that the 1300 square feet of space at the 1717 Building would have cost $7,000 to remodel and the remodeling, taken a month to complete. No remodeling costs were incurred in the Bar Building lease. Furniture and . equipment has been obtained on short-term rental contracts. PUBLICATIONS Weekly reports on coordinating staff activities to be sent to Steering Committee and Working Committee members have been initiated. A monthly action report will be sent the last of each month to the entire mailing list. The roster of those who registered for the Convocation was mailed the week of October 2, and the full proceedings of the Convocation will be mailed in late October. Agenda papers will be mailed at least a week prior to all Steering Committee meetings and minutes of Steering Committee and working committee meetings, mailed immediately after meetings. PERSONNEL Budget limitations have held the the national coordinators' full-time paid staff to four professional and five clerical . However, arrangements have been made with the Potomac Institute and the Southern Regional Council to provide extensive part - time assistance from Mr . James Gibson and Mr . Vernon Jordon . The full - time professionals are Mr . Christopher Mould , Mr . Mel C otton , Miss Olga Corey for press r elations , and Mrs . Mary Ter pak as administrative coordi nator . Sever al component or ganizati ons of the Coaliti on have indicated that additional per sonnel will be a va ilabl e on a l oan ed basis as needed .

DRAFT 10/2/67 PROPOSED PROCEDURES FOR DETERMINING PUBLIC POLICY POSITIONS Presented by Working Sub-Committee on Reorganization In recognition of the importance of agreement and·· clarity as to procedure for an ad hoc group such as The Urban Coalition, on September 21st the National Coordinators proposed the establishment of a representative committee drawn from the Working Committee to consider two questions: 1. What procedures should be adopted to enable the Steering Committee to develop and implement public policy positions? 2. What organizational structure should the Coalition develop? The Committee consists of the following members: Rabbi Richard Hirsch, Chairman (Synagogue Council of America) Wayne Smithy (Ford Motor Company) Alfred Eisenpreis (Allied Stores) Andrew Biemiller (AFL-CIO) Peter Tufo (New York City) Bayard Rustin (A. Philip Randolph) Harold Fleming (Potomac Institute) PUBLIC POLICY POSITIONS Generally speaking, the public policy positions of The Urban Coalition should be achieved by consensus. Occasionally, however, it is likely that individual members of the Steering Committee may, for good and sufficient reason, wish to dissent or express reservations. This is to be expected and should be provided for with a procedural agreement that will enable the Coalition to act, at the same time protecting the interests of those in disagreement. Such procedures should be simple and clear. policy positions. They should be limited to public (The normal administrative affairs of The Urban Coalition should be governed by regular parliamentary procedure with simple majority approval serving as the basis for action.)

Action at the corrnnunity level must now follow. As leaders in your corrnnunity, your corrnnitment and ingenuity are now called upon to muste r the support and invol vement of your fellow citizens for a massive reordering of priorities and programs in the face of the urb a n emergency. The na t i ona l Steering Commi t t ee of The Ur ban Coa lition is a l r eady at work developing strategy and programs to a chieve t he goal s it has set for itself. But its focus is primarily on national decision makers and na ti onal priorit ie s a nd programs. This will not be enough. The r e must be compl ementary a cti on a t the loca l l ev e l whe r e ultimat e r e sp ons i b i l i t y res t s and wh ere ur ban probl ems are most c l earl y perceiv e d. The Ur ban Coa li t i on the refore looks to you t o initia te forma tion o f a local coal ition in your city or me t r opol itan area to work in concer t with the national Steering Corrnni ttee in pursu it of c ommon ob jectives. OBJECTIVES At the c onc l usion of t he August Emergency Conv oca t ion, The Urban Coalition adopted a comprehensiv e Statement o f Principles, Goal s and Corrnnitments. It is this document which charts the course for our mutual efforts. (A copy of the Statement is encl osed) . You will note from the Statemen t that the Coalition h a s identified seven specific areas of urban affairs calling for consideration and �-2action by the Coalition and the country. Emergency Task Forces have been created reflecting these problem areas through which the substantive efforts of the Coalition will be channeled. They are: 1. Emergency Task Force on Public Service Employment 2. Emergency Task Force on Private Employment 3. Emergency Task Force on Educational Disparities 4. Emergency Task Force on Reconstruction Investment & Urban Development 5. Emergency Task Force on Equal Housing Opportunities 6. Emergency Task Force on Connnunications 7. Emergency Task Force on Local Coalitions The designated urban concern of each Task Force demands immediate attention and action. But while such a division of tasks is essential for efficient organization of the Coalition's endeavors, the very real functional inter-relationships between the major urban problems must not be overlooked. It is the position of The Coalition that given current urban American conditions, the key to resolving these inter-related problems is a massive emergency work program of at least one million new public service-type jobs, developed and financed by the Federal Government, including new training opportunities for the unemployed and underemployed. The elements of such an emergency work p r ogram are described in the Statement . Such a program is a prerequisite to the restoration of economic health to our cities and hope to the lives of millions of urban Americans. Equally important is the fact that in the absence of such a governmentally-generated emergency work program even the most enlightened and massive efforts to improve public education, housing, an -' heal th and welfare services will meet with failure . The pervasive social and economic costs of continued high levels of unemployment and underemploy- �-3ment in our cities can spell sure disaster to our society. The alter- native is to implement a crash national employment program of the character The Urban Coalition proposes. The business of The Urban Coalition is to induce a complete revision in the allocation of talent, time, money and resources to meeting the basic needs of .America's . cities. While special emphasis has been given in The Coalition's Statement to the basic need for full employment, this is not to minimize the urgent needs for new capital investment, revitali zed public education, substantial increases in the housing supply, more and better urban services and facilities, and enhanced equal opportunity in housing. The Statement states that the "nex t order of business ... shall be the development of a broad program of urban reconstruction ... including the goal of rehabilitation and construction of a t l eas t one million housing units f or lowe r-income families annually." All sectors of .American society have a rol e to play in accomplishing the goa ls The Urban Coa lition has propos e d. Awakening those sectors to the emergency at hand and mobilizing them for appropriate action is the innnediate task. Essen_tial to The Urban Coalition's perform- ing that task is t he formation of local coa litions which, we hope, wi ll first, pl e dge the ir support of the Sta tement of Pr i ncipl e s, Goa l s and Connnitment s, and se cond, wor k in conce rt with the n a tiona l Steering Connnittee , with all resources available to them, to accomplish these goa l s. STRATEGY AND AGENDA FOR LOCAL COALITIONS As an initial target, t he Steering Committee of The Urban Coalition is res ponding to the reques ts o f connnunit i es in a t l east fif ty ma jor urban areas for assistance in the f ormat ion of l ocal coal itions by November 15 , 1967. In e ach of t h e fifty communities, a small organi z- ing connnittee of local l eaders is being cal l ed together. As is the cas e with t he Steering Connnittee, t h e local organi z ing committee will �-4be made up of representatives from the community's business, organized labor, religious, civil rights, educational, local government, and communications le a de rship. It is important that the sectors repre- sented correspond wi th those represented on the national Steering Committee so as t o be broadly representative of the life of the community. In some cases, it may be that coalitions have already been forme d around such is sues as jobs, schools or housing. These groups may wish to identify with and work with The Urban Coalition. The local organizing committee and other existing coalition groups are being invited to de s i gna te representatives to attend a one-day Local Urban Coalition Planning Session to be held on Tuesday, October 17 1967 in Chicago, Illinois. The pla1ID11ing session, convened by the na tional Steering Committee, will deal exclusively with organization and programming of local coalitions. Further information will be furnished to you shortly on the subject of the planning session. In no event, howev e r, should the organization of local coalitions be deferred pending the Chicago planning session. Time is of the es sence. Where a general , a s contrasted to a single issue, coalition is being formed the first order of business for the organizing committee is to round out representative participation on a local Steering Committee. Secondly, the Steering Committee should develop a draft Statement of Principles, Goals, and Commitments which endorses the national Statement and broadens it to include major loca l concerns . Next, convening of an emergency convocation of the local coalition to review and adopt a Statement of Goa ls and develop plans for implementation mi ght be undertaken. This convocation, patterned after the national Emergency Convoca ti on held in August , should be called as soon as possible, hopefu ll y, no later than mid-November. In those cities where several single issue coalitions already ex ist, they may wi sh to jointly convene such a convocation . �-5It is strongly recommended that, both in the initial organi za tional phase as well as the post-convocation phase,where new coalitions are being formed,the local organizing committee arrange for at least one staff person to work full time on the local coalition. It is expected that this staff person could be borrowed from the staff of one of the participating leaders. THE LOCAL EMERGENCY CONVOCATION The local convocation will serve to bring together the significant community leadership and will serve both as an organizing device as well as a vehicle for arousing and educating the community to the urban emergency. The convening of the convocation and the endorsement of a Statement of Principles will hav e local and national significance to the extent t h a t the convocation enjoys the participation of the community's lea de rship representing the same constituencies represented in the organizing committ ee . This is an enterprise requiring as much citizen support as possible so that community leadership involvement must be broad and numerically substantial. The convocation can be focused on the problems of a single city or on th e probl ems of the metropolitan area in which it is located, whiche ' er is feasible and appropriat e . It is fully expected that the local co a l ition and the convocation will invo lve representatives of major emp loyers and un i ons whe ther th e ir constituents and/or func ti ons are in the city or the suburbs . While the national Urban Coalition is not able to offer an j financial ass i s tance to loca l organizing committees, it will provide , che c. a ssis tance in p rep aring and convening the local convocation. In this regar d, the October 17th planning conference in Chicago will offer orieLtation and counse l on a range of factors pertinent to successful �-6loc a l coalitions. In addition, the Steering Connnittee has accepted an offer by the National Institute of Public Affairs to furnish, where des i r e d , te chnical assistance to local organizing cormnittees in programm i ng of the local convocation and subsequent siminars and workshops. The national Steering Committee will also provide speakers, where needed and requested , in any or all of the substantive areas under consideration by The Ur ban Coalition Task Forces mentioned earlier. A necessary outcome of the convocation is endorsement of a ml nimal organizational structure to pursue the goals and commitment s adopted. With respect to newly-formed local coalitions, the local structure should include a steering cormnittee and a minimum of thr e e t ask forces to deal with l eg islation, expansion of private employment, an d public information , respectively. Beyond the substance of these three tas k fo r ce s, local groups ma y set up other work groups. The nat i on a l Urb an Coa lition, however , is presently going through program dev e lopment with i ts o ther task forces and will be prepared to coordinate other local tas k forc e action areas in the near future. Fina lly, it is contemplated that the local coalitions will pa r ti cipa t e in and help shape the programs of The Urban Coalition . � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Action at the community level must now follow. As leaders in your community, your commitment and ingenuity are now called upon to muster the support and involvement of your fellow citizens for a massive reordering of priorities and programs in the face of the urban emergency. The national Steering Committee of The Urban Coalition is already at work developing strategy and programs to achieve the goals it has set for itself. But its focus is primarily on national decision makers and national priorities and programs. This will not be enough. There must be complementary action at the local level where ultimate responsi- bility rests and where urban problems are most clearly perceived. The Urban Coalition therefore looks to you to initiate formation of a local coalition in your city or metropolitan area to work in concert with the national Steering Committee in pursuit of common objectives.

It is the position of The Coalition that given current urban American conditions, the key to resolving these inter-related problems is a massive emergency work program of at least one million new public service-type jobs, developed and financed by the Federal Government, including new training opportunities for the unemployed and underem- ployed. The elements of such an emergency work program are described in the Statement. Such a program is a prerequisite to the restoration of economic health to our cities and hope to the lives of millions of urban Americans. Equally important is the fact that in the absence of such a govern- mentally-generated emergency work program even the most enlightened and massive efforts to improve public education, housing, an. health and welfare services will meet with failure. The pervasive social and economic costs of continued high levels of unemployment and underemploy- aGe ment in our cities can spell sure disaster to our society. The alter- native is to implement a crash national employment program of the character The Urban Coalition proposes. The business of The Urban Coalition is to induce a complete revision in the allocation of talent, time, money and resources to meeting the basic needs of America's cities. While special emphasis has been given in The Coalition's Statement to the basic need for full employ- ment, this is not to minimize the urgent needs for new capital invest ment, revitalized public education, substantial increases in the housing supply, more and better urban services and facilities, and enhanced equal opportunity in housing. The Statement states that the "ext order of business...shall be the development of a broad program of urban reconstruction...including the goal of rehabilitation and construction of at least one million housing units for lower-income families annually." All sectors of American society have a role to play in accomplishing the goals The Urban Coalition has proposed. Awakening those sectors to the emergency at hand and mobilizing them for appropriate action is the immediate task. Essential to The Urban Coalition's perform- ing that task is the formation of local coalitions which, we hope, will first, pledge their support of the Statement of Principles, Goals and Commitments, and second, work in concert with the national Steering Committee, with all resources available to them, to accomplish these goals, STRATEGY AND AGENDA FOR LOCAL COALITIONS As an initial target, the Steering Committee of The Urban Coalition is responding to the requests of communities in at least fifty major urban areas for assistance in the formation of local coalitions by November 15, 1967. In each of the fifty communities, a small organiz- ing committee of local leaders is being called together. As is the case with the Steering Committee, the local organizing committee will ES be made up of representatives from the community's business, organized labor, religious, civil rights, educational, local government, and communications leadership. It is important that the sectors repre- sented correspond with those represented on the national Steering Committee so as to be broadly representative of the life of the community. In some cases, it may be that coalitions have already been formed around such issues as jobs, schools or housing. These groups may wish to identify with and work with The Urban Coalition. The local organizing committee and other existing coalition groups are being invited to dcsignate representatives to attend a one-day Local Urban Coalition Planning Session to be held on Tuesday, October 17 1967 in Chicago, Illinois. The plamming session, convened by the national Steering Committee, will deal exclusively with organization and programming of local coalitions. Further information will be furnished to you shortly on the subject of the planning session. In no event, however, should the organization of local coalitions be deferred pending the Chicago planning session. Time is of the essence, Where a general, as contrasted to a single issue, coalition is being formed the first order of business for the organizing committee is to round out representative participation on a local Steering Committee. Secondly, the Steering Committee should develop a draft Statement of Principles, Goals, and Commitments which endorses the national State- ment and broadens it to include major local concerns. Next, convening of an emergency convocation of the local coalition to review and adopt a Statement of Goals and develop plans for implementation might be undertaken. This convocation, patterned after the national Emergency Convocation held in August, should be called as soon as possible, hope- fully, no later than mid-November. In those cities where several single issue coalitions already exist, they may wish to jointly convene such a convocation. -5- It is strongly recommended that, both in the initial organizational phase as well as the post-convocation phase,where new coalitions are being formed,the local organizing committee arrange for at least one staff person to work full time on the local coalition. It is expected that this staff person could be borrowed from the staff of one of the participating leaders. THE LOCAL EMERGENCY CONVOCATION The local convocation will serve to bring together the significant community leadership and will serve both as an organizing device as well as a vehicle for arousing and educating the community to the urban emergency. The convening of the convocation and the endorsement of a Statement of Principles will have local and national significance to the extent that the convocation enjoys the participation of the community's leadership representing the same constituencies represented in the organizing committee. This is an enterprise requiring as much citizen support as possible so that community leadership involvement must be broad and numerically substantial. The convocation can be focused on the problems of a single city or on the problems of the metropolitan area in which it is located, which- ever is feasible and appropriate, It is fully expected that the local coalition and the convocation will involve representatives of major employers and unions whether their constituents and/or functions are in the city or the suburbs, While the national Urban Coalition is not able to offer any financial assistance to local organizing committees, it will provide . cher assistance in preparing and convening the local convocation. In this regard, the October 17th planning conference in Chicago will offer orientation and counsel on a range of factors pertinent to successful a local coalitions. In addition, the Steering Committee has accepted an offer by the National Institute of Public Affairs to furnish, where desired, tech- nical assistance to local organizing committees in programming of the local convocation and subsequent siminars and workshops. The national Steering Committee will also provide speakers, where needed and requested, in any or all of the substantive areas under consideration by The Urban Coalition Task Forces mentioned earlier. A necessary outcome of the convocation is endorsement of a minimal organizational structure to pursue the goals and commitments adopted. With respect to newly-formed local coalitions, the local structure should include a steering committee and a minimum of three task forces to deal with legislation, expansion of private employment, and public information, respectively. Beyond the substance of these three task forces, local groups may set up other work groups. The national Urban Coalition, however, is presently going through program development with its other task forces and will be prepared to coordinate other local task force action areas in the near future. Finally, it is contemplated that the local coalitions will partici- pate in and help shape the programs of The Urban Coalition.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Whitmer Mayor of the City of Des Moines City Hall Desa Moines, Iowa Dear Mayor: Since the Fmergency Convocation of The Urban Coalition in August, an increasing nuuber of communities across the country have asked for the assistance of The Coalition in organizing and programming counterpart local coalitions. With a staff capability now assembled, The Urban Coalition is now beginning to respond to these requests particularly in those communities where it is evident that the business, labor, religious, civil rights, and local elected government leadership is prepared to join in efforts to resolve mtual urban probleus. One step The Urban Coalition is taking to render assistance to these communities is furnishing local leadership with the enclosed Guidelines for Local Coalitions. The Guidelines explain the objectives of The Urban Coalition and sug- gest some of the stepa in flexible terme which wight be taken in your community in concert with the national Caalition, A second form of assistance offered by The Urban Coalition is a scheduled one-day Lecal Coalition Planning Session for representatives from local communities interested in pursuing local organization in support of The Urban Coalition objectives. This session will be held October 17, 1967 in Chicago, Illinois and representative leaders from your city are welcome to attend, Further information about this meeting will be sent to you shortly. Please let us hear from you about your local plans and whether we can anticipate representation from your local leadership at the Chicago meeting. We leok forward to your interest and support.

DRAFT 10/4/67 REPORT OF SPECIAL WORKING SUB-COMMITTEE ON ORGANIZATION In recognition of the importance of agreement and clarity as to procedure for an ad hoc group such as The Urban Coalition, on September 21st the National Coordinators proposed the establishment of a representative committee drawn from the Working Committee to consider two questions: 1. What procedures should be adopted to enable the Steering Committee to develop and implement public policy positions? 2. What organizational structure should the Coalition develop? The Committee consists of the following members: Rabbi Richard Hirsch, Chairman (Synagogue Council of America) Wayne Smithy (Ford Motor Company) Alfred Eisenpreis (Allied Stores) Andrew Biemiller (AFL-CIO) Peter Tufo (New York City) Bayard Rustin (A. Philip Randolph) Harold Fleming (Potomac Institute) PUBLIC POLICY POSITIONS Generally speaking, the public policy positions of The Urban Coalition should be achieved by consensus. Occasionally, however, it is likely that individual members of the Steering Committee may, for good and sufficient reason, wish to dissent or express reservations. This is to be expected and should be provided for with a procedural agreement that will enable the Coalition to act, at the same time protecting the interests of those in disagreement. should be simple and clear. Such procedures They should be limited to public policy positions. (The normal administrative affairs of The Urban Coalition should be governed by regular parliamentary procedure with simple majority approval serving as the basis for action). In so far as possible, advance notice shall be given of public policy questions to be on the agenda of any meeting. Issues of public policy not on the advance agenda may be added to the agenda for discussion at the meeting with the approval of a majority of those present. �The following procedures are proposed with respect to public policy positions of The Urban Coalition: 1. A quorum shall be a majority of the Steering Committee. 2. Any Steering Committee member may be represented by an alternate. 3. Public policy decisions will be made only by the Steering Committee. 4. Only those approving (voting YES) will be listed in public statements. 5. It is understood that each Steering Committee member is free to determine the form and extent of his participation in any activities to implement any public policy position taken by The Urban Coalition. 6. Members of the Steering Committee, or their alternates, may vote YES, NO, or may ABSTAIN. 7. The Coalition shall take no action on any public policy matter where: a) Any five members of the Steering Committee (or their alternates) vote NO. b) Any one of the five elements of the Steering Committee (business, labor, civil rights, religion, local government) vote NO, provided that at least a majority of the members of that el ement are present (or repres ent ed). 8. Poll i ng the Steering Commi ttee will ordinarily not be necess ar y . Should the need occur , it should be limited as far as possible to implementation of those issues upon which the Steering Committee has already act ed. Such specia l poll s should be communicated in writing or by t e l egram with a specified respons e dat e i ndicat ed. Such emer gency polls shall be governed by the procedures outlined above for determing all public policy positions . ORGANI ZATIONAL STRUCTURE In or der t o be effect i ve, t he Steering Committee of t he Ur ban Coa l ition shou ld not be subs t anti a l ly enlarged beyond its present number . For the pre s ent , t he t ask f orce concept can pr ovide ample oppor tunity f or enl arged part ic i pation in the program interests of t he Coa lit ion. The leadership and members of the task forces can report t o and meet with the Steering Committee as needed. Persons can be enlisted to work on projects as they arise. �As counterpart local coalitions are formed, however, or as existing coalition groups express their desire to support and work for the goals of the Urban Coalition, provision will have to be made to channel and coordinate these groups. It is recommended, therefore, that the Steering Committee authorize the establishment of a Council on Local Coalitions. Local groups affirming their support of the Statement of Principles, Goals and Commitments and having memberships that reflect the elements of the National Steering Committee shall be invited to designate two representatives to serve on the Council. At an early date, a meeting of the Council will be convened for the purpose of exchanging views, making recommendations to the national Steering Committee, and electing two representatives to serve on the national Steering Committee. Staff services for the Council will be provided by the national coordinating sta ff. � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
