Local and regional authorities have a fundamental role in adressing hate, extremism and polarisation.
Strong Cities has developed two comprehensive guidesto support city-led efforts to tackle these issues:
A Guide for Mayors for Preventing and Responding to Hate, Extremism & Polarisationhelps prepare mayors to address these challenges by answering key questions, exploring key decision points and presenting good practices and lessons learned from mayors and thus enhance their prevention and response plans and programmes in their cities.
A Guide for Cities for Preventing Hate, Extremism & Polarisationinforms the diversity of local government officials, including practitioners and administrative staff to help them better understand their role and that of the local government more broadly in preventing hate, extremism and polarisation.
