Topic: Strong Cities Network

The Strong Cities Network, a United Nations-backed project, is identified as an influence on policing in major U.S. cities like Minneapolis and Austin. Additionally, controversy surrounds Susan Rosenberg, a former member of the May 19th Communist Organization, who served on the board of Thousand Currents, the fiscal sponsor for Black Lives Matter. Rosenberg's history includes a 1984 arrest for possession of explosives and a subsequent pardon by Bill Clinton.

The Strong Cities Network (SCN), funded by the U.S. State Department, aims to connect local authorities in cities like Denver, Atlanta, and London to share practices for preventing violent extremism. The network facilitates workshops and training seminars to strengthen community cohesion and security. The hosts characterize the initiative as a "money grab" and a potential tool for managing political dissent at the municipal level.
