Earlier this summer, California 100\u00a0announced research awards<\/a>\u00a0to 18 centers and institutes across the state to examine future scenarios with the potential to shape California\u2019s leadership in the coming century.\r\n\r\n\u201cCalifornia must remain on the leading edge of creating an inclusive democracy for the 21st Century and beyond, not only for the sake of California's communities but also, as other states turn their back on creating a democracy that works for all of us, as a model for the nation,\u201d Mehta Stein said.\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\n\u201cWhile California has passed a number of landmark democracy reforms, we cannot rest on the successes of the past. We still have not addressed deep voter participation and civic participation disparities that exist in our state on the basis of race, age, and immigration status. If we can finally build a democracy that includes all of us, California will be better for the 100 years to come,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\n\u201cWe are thrilled to draw on the expertise of these transformative leaders who are making a difference in their respective fields and already leaving a mark on California,\u201d said Karthick Ramakrishnan, executive director of California 100. \u201cWe will draw on their unique perspectives to inform our work to create a vision and strategy for the next century that is inclusive, equitable, and sustainable.\u201d\r\n\r\nIn addition to research, California 100 will also sponsor original policy innovation projects across California working in partnership with local and statewide agencies. Commissioners will organize engagement sessions throughout California with key\u00a0stakeholders across the state to test California 100\u2019s research and policy innovation efforts to ensure that Californians are directly included in the initiative\u2019s work.\r\n\r\nThe Commission brings expertise within the thirteen issue areas of focus for California 100:\r\n
    \r\n \t
  • Advanced Technology<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Arts, Culture, Entertainment<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Education<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Economic Mobility, Inequality and Workforce<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Energy, Environment, and Natural Resources<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Federalism and Foreign Policy<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Fiscal Reform<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Governance, Media and Civil Society<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Health and Wellness<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Housing and Community Development<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Immigrant Integration<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Public Safety and Criminal Justice<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Transportation and Urban Planning<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nCommissioners will serve a two-year term and meet regularly throughout the life of the initiative. They will hold listening sessions across the state to engage key stakeholders in the Spring and Summer of 2022.\r\n\r\nThe goal of California 100 is to lift up and support transformative ideas, people, and projects that accelerate progress with a focus on inspiring a vision and strategy for California\u2019s next century that is innovative, sustainable, and equitable. In addition to sponsoring original work, the California 100 Platform will promote the best of what is happening in California. Through these various projects and activities, California 100 seeks to move California towards an aspirational vision\u2014changing policies and practices, attitudes, and mindsets, for a more vibrant future.\r\n\r\nCalifornia 100 is organized among interrelated streams of work: research, policy innovation, advanced technology, and engagement. Each stream is led by a director who comprises the executive team."}}]},"yoast_head":"\nCalifornia Common Cause Executive Director Jonathan Mehta Stein Selected as a California 100 Commissioner - Common Cause California<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/california\/press-releases\/california-common-cause-executive-director-jonathan-mehta-stein-selected-as-a-california-100-commissioner\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"California Common Cause Executive Director Jonathan Mehta Stein Selected as a California 100 Commissioner\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/california\/press\/california-common-cause-executive-director-jonathan-mehta-stein-selected-as-a-california-100-commissioner\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Common Cause California\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/california\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/common-cause-share-image.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/california\/press-releases\/california-common-cause-executive-director-jonathan-mehta-stein-selected-as-a-california-100-commissioner\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/california\/press-releases\/california-common-cause-executive-director-jonathan-mehta-stein-selected-as-a-california-100-commissioner\/\",\"name\":\"California Common Cause Executive Director Jonathan Mehta Stein Selected as a California 100 Commissioner -
