Last week, at the Mackinac Policy Conference, Mayor Sheffield closed her address with an “Oprah moment.”
She asked every person in the room to reach under their seat to find a sticker.
Then came the challenge: Are you bold enough to wear it?
The instruction was simple. Put it on your shirt or your lapel, and when someone asks what it means, tell them this:
“Mayor Sheffield from Detroit wants people to know that poverty elimination is a growth strategy.”
