Progress Report | Not in Our Town

Progress Report

Real change—in our communities, our schools, and people’s everyday lives—takes work: engaging stakeholders, building empathy, sparking discussion, soliciting testimony, forging networks, and fostering partnerships across lines that too often divide. This is the work of Not In Our Town.

Progress Report

Over 250,000 people become targets of hate every year. Most of these crimes are violent, and the vast majority go unreported. In our nation’s schools, one-third of all students report being bullied. Real change—in our communities, our schools, and people’s everyday lives—takes work: engaging stakeholders, building empathy, sparking discussion, soliciting testimony, forging networks, and fostering partnerships across lines that too often divide.

This is the work of Not In Our Town. In 2013, we launched a three-year Strategic Plan to deepen and expand our work, setting clear goals and new ways to assess our impact. We now stand at a significant milestone: the midway mark, and we are proud to say, based on our independent evaluation data, community feedback, and personal observations, we are making progress.

Our 2013-14 Progress Report details our activities and accomplishments, and how they are being felt on the ground. What is clear to us: The NIOT model is working. Our films and online tools are inspiring action. NIOT’s influence is growing, and the movement to stop hate and build safe, inclusive communities is spreading.
