Building Inclusive Communities

Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness is a one-hour documentary about a town coming together to take action to stem anti-immigrant violence. The program will be broadcast nationwide on PBS on Wednesday, September 21. As part of the national Not In Our Town Inclusive Communities Initiative, public media stations in 20 U. S. markets are using the film to initiate dialogue and coverage on issues of intolerance in their communities. In collaboration with the Public Insight Network andFronteras, and by utilizing the Next Door Neighbors Toolkit, these stations are engaging the public through broadcasts, websites, social media channels and community conversations.

In this webinar, you'll learn how you can be part of the Not In Our Town Week of Action (September 18-24), how to partner with a local school on Not In Our School anti-bullying campaigns, and how to join forces with your public media colleagues and key national partners such as the National League of Cities and the American Libraries Association.
