Susan Lisa Rosenberg (born 1955) is a Jewish convicted felon, activist, writer, and advocate for violent overthrow of the United States. From the late 1970s into the mid-1980s, Rosenberg was active in the far-left revolutionary terrorist May 19th Communist organization, which engaged in bombings of buildings and provided support to the Black Liberation Army. After living as a fugitive for two years, she was arrested in 1984 while in possession of explosives and firearms. She had also been sought as an accomplice in the 1979 prison escape of Assata Shakur and was suspected but never charged in the 1981 Brinks robbery that led to the death of a guard and two Nyack police officers (Officer Brown and Officer O'Grady).
Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years in prison on the weapons and explosives charges. She spent 16 years in prison. Her sentence was commuted by President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001, his final day in office.
Susan Rosenberg is now a leader and financier of Black Lives Matter.
