Nowhere have the voices of the 99 percent been heard more forcefully than in the squares of America's cities—some of which are in the midst of painful, albeit powerful, cycles of change.

This session will explore the lessons learned and opportunities ahead for two of America's most innovative mayors.
Speakers: Annise Parker, Mitch Landrieu, Lisa P. Jackson, Michele Norris, Antonio R. Villaraigosa
