You and the nation face the starkest of choices
We can start working to create a society where we take care of one another — facing unprecedented challenges together as a community — or we can passively watch our country, city by city, descend into places where only the wealthy elite thrive. It’s A or B.
Change agents and authors Dr Katherine Ortega Courtney and Dominic Cappello believe in the power of community and that 100% can and should thrive. They are dedicated to confronting benign neglect, incompetence and corruption to fix broken systems that should, but don’t yet, keep us safe in times of instability and change.
100% Community presents, quite literally, the nation’s only data-driven and tested way forward, a plan to design local systems and services so everyone can be empowered to find success with family, school, work and community life.
“For all of us who believe that we can make everyone’s health, safety, resilience and readiness for a crisis a priority, this book shows the way.”
—Senator Bill Soules, New Mexico State Senator

For those paying attention (and armed with data), it’s clear the pandemic’s impact on our physical and psychological health, as well as the economy, business closures and joblessness, amounts to nothing short of a public health and financial disaster. It is history in the making, a turning point for the nation with you having a front row seat.
It’s radically simple. Make the ten vital services for surviving and thriving part of what the local government does. Our families, quite literally, can’t survive without them. Is this a new role of local government in the USA? Absolutely — and a vital role the government should have taken on decades ago to address benign neglect, social injustice as well as government waste.
BEFORE 100% Community: Government leader says to mother, “No, it is not the job of city or county government to ensure you and your children survive and thrive.
AFTER 100% Community: Government leader says to mother, “Yes, your health, safety and stability is the priority of city or county government — we collaborate with nonprofit organizations and the private sector to ensure that all our residents have timely and easy access to the ten services for surviving and thriving.
“The 100% Community initiative guides us as we embrace the opportunity to design the new systems of care and safety we urgently need.”

NOT ABOUT MORE MONEY, ABOUT PRIORITIES
It’s not about raising taxes, it’s about spending public money on the public’s priorities — as in surviving the week without hunger, homelessness and joblessness. Our city halls need to be spearheading the creation of robust and state of the art job training programs — getting people into the workforce.
The 100% Community book series promotes a groundbreaking model for public-private sector partnerships to achieve measurable and meaningful results. Our goal: Everyone thrives! The following books, designed for specialized audiences and sectors, are shorter special edition excerpts from 100% Community.

How to get it all done step-by-step
Katherine Ortega Courtney, PhD and Dominic Cappello are advocates for turning crisis into opportunities for improving systems, solving challenges using data, technology and collaboration. They know why systems that should protect us, can fail us — and teach leadership development and data-driven problem-solving. Dr. Courtney’s expertise in data analysis, continuous quality improvement, collective impact and experimental psychology guides communities and organizations through turbulent and timely change. Cappello is a health systems strategist and New York Times bestseller author, whose Ten Talks book series on family safety reached a national audience when his innovative work was featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Cappello and Courtney are also co-authors of Anna, Age Eight: The data-driven prevention of childhood trauma and maltreatment and Attack of the Three-Headed Hydras which serve as an urgently needed call-to-action for each state to end adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), trauma, social adversity and health disparities.

“Problems and shortcomings in a society need to be identified, evaluated, and resolved using data and evidence-based methods. Unfortunately, all too often communities leave too many constituents behind as a result of poor community leadership, who tend to be driven by their own personal interest, false heuristics, and cognitive biases, instead of facts, data, and evidence-based research. 100% Community does a great job of outlining a roadmap for communities to work better at serving all within the community, especially those who are the weakest and most vulnerable… children.”
—Shawn Waked, MS, CFP™ – Santa Fe
“Dr. Katherine Ortega Courtney and Dominic Cappello have not only clearly illustrated the need for a united front of services for our communities, but have now provided a road map for exactly how we can move from crisis to cohesion. The framework provided in this book makes it the most timely (and critical) book release of 2020 to date. If I could wave a magic wand and place it in the hands of every community leader — I would do it in a heartbeat. These two have once again provided the instruction manual. It is up to each of us to turn it into ACTION!”
—Erica Wade, Director, The Center, Owensboro, KY
