As mentioned in the emails above, I am the Director at Large for the Chicago Chapter of the U.S. National Committee for UN Women. I was referred to Elizabeth by Fred Lebed. My goal is to bring UN Women's Global Safe Cities and Safe Public Spaces initiative to Chicago. The initiative aims to develop a holistic approach to eliminating all forms of violence against women and girls. As of this year, UN Women has partnered with 45 cities across five continents. The Chicago chapter of UN Women is very interested in collaborating with the Mayor's Office and the United Nations in New York to include Chicago in the UN's growing network of Champion Cities committed to investing in the safety and economic viability of public spaces. Lisa and Susan, I would love to schedule a time to meet with you both to discuss the initiative, its objectives, and our strategy in greater detail, as I believe the framework of the initiative is directly relevant to your roles. Are you all available to meet for 30 minutes during the third week of August?

I've been out of town at training for my new job this week. We're in the pre-planning stage and still a few steps away from drafting a letter. The letter is typically co-written by a member of a women's organization (in this case, me) and an advocate in the mayor's office, with input from the team at the UN in New York. Right now, I just need to identify and connect with someone in the Mayor's Office who handles international relations so I may brief them about the Safe Cities initiative. Once I establish a contact, I can hopefully facilitate collaboration between the Mayor's Office and the UN in New York on the next stage of the planning process, of which the final step is drafting the letter. The talking points are: * Safe Cities is a global UN initiative focused on promoting public safety at the local level * The initiative is currently underway in 45 cities across five continents * By partnering with the UN, Chicago can develop a holistic approach to eliminating all forms of violence against women and girls * This is an opportunity for Chicago to demonstrate its commitment to reducing violence by investing in the safety and economic viability of public spaces In closing, what I need from you is your assistance finding and connecting me with someone in the Mayor's Office who handles international relations. Thank you so much for all your assistance so far. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. All the best, Jackie On Wed, Jul 17, 2019 at 3:47 PM Fred Lebed > wrote: Good afternoon, Jackie.

I am told from the UN in New York that this is a multi-step process. Step one is for me to meet with someone in the Mayor's Office who handles international relations and to brief them about the Safe Cities initiative. I've looked through the website and I've been having trouble finding an individual/department which best corresponds to international relations. During your meeting tomorrow, it would be helpful if you could ask with whom I should meet with. The next step would be for me to connect whomever I meet with at the Mayor's Office with my contact in New York. The UN told me this afternoon that they'll "need to speak directly to the Office of International relations focal point (staff of the city) on the next steps and to answer questions they may have about the Initiative before a letter is sent". I understand I don't have a lot of information, but this all the information they've given me. Please let me know if you can connect me with anyone who deals with international relations. Thank you and kind regards, Jackie P.S. I will be in training with my new company tomorrow, but if you have any questions during your meeting please text or email me and I will do my best to answer promptly.

My goal is to bring UN Women's Global Safe Cities and Safe Public Spaces initiative to Chicago. To do this, I need a letter from the mayor's office addressed to UN Women’s headquarters in New York formally requesting Chicago’s inclusion in the initiative. I’m currently waiting on my contacts in New York to send a sample letter for reference, but it essentially needs to say “the City of Chicago is interested in joining UN Women’s Safe Cities and Safe Public Spaces Initiative”. Mr. Lebed, do you have any recommendations regarding who I should contact about this?
