Do you have $10 to stop hate?

Students turn their back on hate when the Ku Klux Klan visits the University of Mississippi campus in 2009. 

 

In September, Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness was broadcast on PBS for the first time. Towns and schools across the country held more than 200 screening events and public discussions. From San Jose, CA to Long Island, NY, from Puget Sound, WA to Fort Myers, FL, schools, police departments, church groups, immigrant organizations, and public media stations used the film to launch discussions about what it would take to make their communities safe for everyone.

 

Today we put our next film, Not In Our Town: Class Actions in the mail to PBS, which will air in the spring. We want to sustain the amazing initiatives began with Light in the Darkness and extend them further into schools and campuses and community-based anti-bullying efforts, but we can't do it without your financial support today.

 

Even a small donation will help us create the discussion guides, organize community screenings and forge new partnerships, which made Light in the Darkness useful to your efforts to build welcoming communities. Most importantly of all, with your financial support now, we can keep telling the stories of all the great work you do, so that others can learn from your experience.

 

Everyone who donates any amount between now and December 1 will get a first look at our new film, Not In Our Town: Class Actions.

 

Not in Our Town: Class Actions tells the story of young people in three towns facing the past and moving their whole town forward. University of Mississippi students peacefully confront the Klan by turning their backs on hate, hundreds gather on the Indiana University campus to light menorah candles after an anti-Semitic attack on campus, and a massive circle of Southern California high school students break the silence about bullying at school with a loud and united chant, "Not In Our Town."
