The reality of hate and bullying is far too real. How can communities come together to respond to and prevent hate crimes? After 20 years of making films about people responding to hate in their communities, Not in Our Town has honed a strategy of media and engagement to bring together allies and promote a sustainable approach for preventing hate and bullying.
The Arab American Summit will feature the workshop "Not in Our Town: Innovative Responses to Hate Crimes." Learn how to collaborate across faith groups, schools, law enforcement and the civic sector. Leaders will share the challenges in preventing hate and bullying, while detailing the role media can play in supporting these efforts. This is a successful model of how communities can work together to be safer and more inclusive.
