+<p>The United States Mission to the Netherlands continues to monitor ongoing protests and incidents of violence in the city of Amsterdam, following the November 7 attacks against Israeli football supporters and others.

+<p>According to news reports, there are continued calls on social media for protests and disruption to public order. All U.S. citizens are advised to exercise caution, avoid protests or large gatherings that may be encountered, and be mindful that gatherings have the potential to escalate quickly and become violent.</p>

The programs will also serve to illuminate contemporary political, social, and economic debates in American society. The programs consist of a four-week academic residency at a U.S. university campus and a one-week study tour to a different region in the United States, which will complement the academic residency and showcase cultural, geographic, and ethnic diversity of the United States. </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>

+<p><strong>Location:</strong> Worldwide</p>
+<p><strong>Event:</strong> On September 16, 2024, the Department of State launched a new version of the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP).<strong> </strong>Re-enroll in the new system at <a href="https://step.state.gov/">step.state.gov</a> to continue receiving alerts.</p>
+<p>The new STEP platform allows you to use a <a href="https://login.gov/">login.gov</a> account to customize your subscriptions and receive country-specific email alerts during the timeframe of your choice. You can enroll multiple trips or locations at once and can modify your subscriptions or unenroll at any time.</p>
+<p>Enrolling in STEP makes it easier for the nearest U.S embassy or consulate to contact you during an emergency and send you safety and security alerts. We strongly encourage all U.S. citizens traveling or living abroad to enroll or re-enroll today to take advantage of new functionality.</p>
+<p><strong>Actions to Take: </strong></p>
+<ul>
+<li style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Visit </strong><strong><a href="https://step.state.gov/">step.state.gov</a></strong><strong> to enroll in the updated STEP to set your preferences and continue receiving alerts and messages from the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.</strong></li>
+<li style="font-weight: 400;">Encourage friends and family traveling or living internationally to enroll in STEP. Travelers may choose to sign up for alerts for individual trips or to receive alerts long-term for specific countries where they or their loved ones are visiting or residing.</li>
+<li style="font-weight: 400;">Follow the State Department’s Bureau of Consular Affairs on social media (@travelgov) as well as the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.</li>
