Dear John:

Today’s the day!  My colleague Jennifer Bradley and I are thrilled that our book, The Metropolitan Revolution (http://metrorevolution.org/?utm_campaign=Metropolitan%2520Policy%2520Program&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=9163669&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_8nJ8VaVNBytRDzcYrrtKS0zYLMj8Wmxjx1kI1QscDvHDNKyUrlpOrpeWitCM61l9jFurXEF-Junk8gnqvFROZOkfjhg&_hsmi=9163669), is officially out. 

Our book shares good news: Mayors, educators, philanthropists, and business and community leaders are doing the hard work to grow more jobs and make their regions prosperous.  In places as diverse as Denver, Houston, Cleveland and New York, they are investing in infrastructure, making manufacturing a priority, linking small businesses to global markets, and training workers for the skills they need.  The Metropolitan Revolution documents how this is happening and how anyone who cares about their community can participate.

I hope you will buy the book (http://www.brookings.edu/research/books/2013/the-metropolitan-revolution?utm_campaign=Metropolitan%2520Policy%2520Program&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=9163669&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--9RP1wLXlZkrzkFsZynW-4XDbVF9nIy7gDbRpBT6O871RmBVjy1wrBGo5DCBR37um8Nq79mKeflpwwb5kEsKx7_I7iZw&_hsmi=9163669), download the iPad app (http://www.metrorevolution.org/app?utm_campaign=Metropolitan%2520Policy%2520Program&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=9163669&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8hLTxJBY-LAcunHSLEpSs8bjWQArdNLba2Fxtt-RQhhINILRdEI13k7OxSnTV5AWMSdeY6YdWkxZx5V-bnCs8Vq23uoA&_hsmi=9163669) which brings examples of the revolution to life, and follow our conversation on Twitter at #metrorev.  Please also consider using social media to spread the word and share the book with your own networks.  We are always happy to provide you with material (sample email language, Tweets, Facebook posts, etc.) to facilitate your outreach.

Jennifer and I are headed out on a tour across America, and we’d love to see you along the way.  You can find details of our events here (http://metrorevolution.org/events/?utm_campaign=Metropolitan%2520Policy%2520Program&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=9163669&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9W44iKrJ4XeZl8eVeOnf6ZDEYoI13h6sT--jDkCudeFdS1mM2R22rTmoJBX-y9za18Ua5O471aBRbTZBAgW5VAD49OSQ&_hsmi=9163669), including the New York City and Washington, D.C. launch events happening today and Wednesday, respectively.  It’s short notice, but if you’re in the area we would love to see you.

Finally, I wanted to make sure you saw David Brooks' recent column (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/07/opinion/brooks-the-power-inversion.html?adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1370882530-zCcVCQXGNREq+DHzJz0exQ&utm_campaign=Metropolitan%2520Policy%2520Program&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=9163669&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_TpFOg0Bg27oa9coqq307ZSo4Zai5GyaKEU-hp4dfzQRez2V-zSeCwQ8wzpB6KXh1xaxsvvp0H1vkxzHsqXYQTY3CETA&_hsmi=9163669) in the New York Times, which discussed the full implications of the book's messages.  Additional perspective is also available from Ed Luce in the Financial Times (http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/d2019406-d433-11e2-8639-00144feab7de.html?utm_campaign=Metropolitan%2520Policy%2520Program&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=9163669&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_c4uBf3Xy2aKuMgPNkjus_I2BKFolqyjmtzEUXniQz7LlanUiAk_IWIolr1Zp-9uycl3qXxs6eSxWZFRd8wshcZ4V3Rw&_hsmi=9163669#axzz2WUVT92wm). And you can view the new animated book trailer here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-pcPyds8EY&utm_campaign=Metropolitan%2520Policy%2520Program&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=9163669&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--aE14ek1qh-7_3U5m5yNxVpoXQDyg6XiLCPqqL5q06vaO9ytr5wW5pj5kyOSXYAC_LrwIVTbFjI74InI7TZ6F89MRtaw&_hsmi=9163669).
