This holiday season, we remember powerful events 20 years ago that inspired the Not In Our Town story and movement. Not In Our Town's journey began with our critically acclaimed PBS special that tells how the citizens of Billings, Montana rose up when their community was plagued by a rash of racist and anti-Semitic crimes. As townspeople and students of all races swiftly moved into action proclaiming "Not In Our Town," a powerful national movement took hold against hate.

 

An estimated 200,000 hate crimes occur in America each year. With your help, we can redouble our efforts to support towns-people and students with materials to heal and rebuild their communities. And we can amplify our voice for compassion through new television productions, screenings, and online narratives.

 

Your donation today will make all the difference to our ability to help communities-in-crisis solutions with:

    •    New tools and online resources to guide their efforts

    •    Increased on-the-ground mentoring and training support

    •    New films that tell the stories of healing that inspire others to rise up against intolerance

Please do all you can. Whatever the amount—your support will propel the ability of our award-winning staff and thousands of volunteer change-agents across the nation who are promoting practical solutions and promoting stories of healing.
