Now, Cities United is bringing its momentum to Memphis. This October, the organization will host its 13th Annual Convening in the Bluff City, gathering mayors, community leaders, young people, and national partners to share solutions, elevate innovation, and accelerate the work of building safe, healthy, and hopeful communities for Black boys and young men. Memphis will serve as the national stage for this year’s convening, highlighting the city’s commitment to collaboration, community‑driven safety strategies, and long‑term investment in youth and neighborhood well‑being.
