"Gov. Hochul's Comprehensive Strategy to Safeguard New York from Violence and Extremism"

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has announced new security measures to combat threats of violence and radicalization in the state. The initiatives include allocating $3 million to ensure every college campus has a threat assessment and management team, targeted ads to help parents identify if their child is involved in hate speech online, and media literacy tools for public school students. The announcement comes after a threat assessment warned of an increasing terror threat to New York, fueled by antisemitic and anti-Palestinian rhetoric on social media. The NYPD has also ramped up security for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
