In September 2014, President Barack Obama issued a challenge to mayors, county executives and tribal leaders across the United States. Mayor Virg Bernero was one of the 1st to accept the challenge and selected One Love Global as the partner to lead the MBK Challenge and facilitate implementation of the MY Lansing Action Plan, authored by Equity Equals host Angela Waters Austin in June 2014.
