Not In Our Town is a movement to stop hate, address bullying, and build safe, inclusive communities for all.

Not In Our Town films, new media, and organizing tools help local leaders build vibrant, diverse cities and towns, where everyone can participate.

Our unique approach is based on the premise that real change takes place at the local level. We focus on solutions to inspire and empower communities to create a world where:

- All residents stand together to stop hate and promote safety and inclusion for all

- Students and school leaders work to prevent bullying and intolerance, and promote kindness

- Law enforcement and communities join forces to prevent hate crimes and violence

Find specific resources for communities, schools and law enforcement on NIOT.org.

NIOT.org is home to films and tools to use in your community or school.

- 100+ short films that can spark community dialogue

- 50+ school films with accompanying lesson plans and activity guides

- Sample materials from towns who have stood up -- and worked to prevent hate and intolerance from taking a hold in their communities

- Special video collections include what to do when a hate group comes to town, how to address hate on your campus, and how to start an anti-bullying campaign.

Get started with the Not In Our Town Quick Start Guide.

KEYWORDS:
Based on the PBS initiative "Not In Our Town".

I heard a local radio ad today about NIOT.

Maybe PBS's Donald Grump puppet from 2005 can represent the bully in their next NIOT video?

But that would necessarily eliminate our colleges and public schools...the sources of virtually all of our intolerance.

Oh wait, on reconsideration, it is a fine idea.

Yep. I taught my children, they didn’t teach me. They all turned out just fine.

I promote learning the history of this country as it really was, not the new version, and knowing the constitution and living by it. Old or young, people must know for themselves upon what facts to base their conclusions.

This is what people do who were never taught any love or manners at home. They become inclusion fascists and force everyone to the lowest common denominator.

We home school our kids and we use some of the WallBuilders books by David Barton so our kids get the full story on US history.
