***
You, your colleagues and friends are invited to a FREE gala screening of
NOT IN OUR TOWN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA: WHEN HATE HAPPENS HERE, on
Wednesday, April 6 at 7 pm at the Grand Lake Theater in Oakland.

Starting in 1995, Not In Our Town has shown communities all over the
country saying NO to hate crimes -- in schools, in workplaces, in the
community.
Not In Our Town helps communities battling hate talk to -- and learn
from -- each other. More information available at www.pbs.org/niot.

NOT IN OUR TOWN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA is the first episode in the series
to focus on one geographic area. California is a place that prides
itself
on its diversity -- immigrants from all over the world make their homes
here, many of our leading elected officials are people of color, and
the state
is at the vanguard of the battle for gay civil rights -- yet we are far
from immune to hate-based violence. In Not In Our Town Northern
California,
a co-production of The Working Group and KQED-TV, "ordinary" citizens
come
together to create a powerful deterrent against hate crimes.

Ultimately, we hope this film like its predecessors will spark a larger
series of discussions and actions against hate violence and intolerance.
We hope you will find a way to use this new film as an anti-intolerance
resource in your work. Please contact Pamela (info below) if you are
interested in a conversation about how this can be brought about.

The film will air on KQED April 8 at 9pm. For more information:

"There is no such thing as a self-made (wo)man. We are made up of
thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or
spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the makeup of
our character and our thoughts, as well as our success."
George Matthew Adams
