Abstract | Over 200 municipalities from 48 countries belong to a global network of localities working independently and collectively to realize a robust concept of cities, towns and regions as ecosystems of lifelong learning for the well-being of individuals, communities, nations and the planet. What is the number of U.S. localities participating? Zero. This narrative describes the efforts of an Adult Learning educator and her colleagues to begin planting seeds for an American entry into the Learning Cities Movement and the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities. The framework is being employed around the world as a policy tool and as an organizing concept. The objective is to advance an agenda of inclusive learning opportunities, community vitality, and innovative solutions to global sustainability issues. The author concludes that while acknowledging conditions of domestic divisiveness and a bellicose head of state behaving intemperately toward other nations, American educators can go forward through people-to-people diplomacy and an undeterred commitment to the common good.
