Community Solidarity and Safety Coalition Convenes First CEO-Level Community Collaborative

Washington, DC, April 11, 2023 ... Today, the Community Solidarity and Safety Coalition (CSSC) convened to launch its first CEO-level community collaborative. The CSSC members were joined by Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security John Tien in an online forum, where they were briefed on the coalition’s progress to date and the administration’s efforts to keep communities safe from violent extremists.

The CSSC was launched in September 2022 by ADL (the Anti-Defamation League) and the National Urban League in advance of the White House’s United We Stand Summit, with its founding goals inspired by inter-community solidarity in the wake of the tragic shooting in Buffalo, New York – following on so many other tragedies ranging from Pittsburgh to Poway, Colorado Springs, El Paso, Charlottesville, Colleyville, and so many more. The CSSC now has 26 member organizations representing a broad swath of at-risk communities and will continue to be a mechanism for collaboration among the member CEOs and their staffs into the future.
