Not in Our Town II, a follow-up special broadcast, shows how communities adapted the Billings model to their own experience. The project has become one of the country’s leading resources for communities’organizing to prevent and respond to hate crimes. www.pbs.org/niot  \nDear Reader:  \nAs a filmmaker, I regard the opportunity to be involved in the Not in Our Town project as one of the greatest gifts of my career. For more than 10 years, those of us on the Not in Our Town team have been inspired by teachers, students, civic leaders and ordinary citizens across the country who have taken the Not in Our Town story and made it their own. Hate violence is not a comfortable topic, but we have been honored to bring to television the voices of people who refuse to remain silent when they are confronted with bigotry.  \nNow we are very pleased to be presenting this first-ever regional Not in Our Town special with our production partners at KQED. These new stories, which come from communities in Northern California, provide a remarkable opportunity for all of us to ask,“What can we do together to stop hate from happening here again?”  \nWe are particularly moved by how the Not in Our Town campaign has spread to teachers and students around the country. Here are just a few examples:  \n• In Maine, a Not in Our Town screening inspired middle school teacher Sandy Nevens and his students to organize a multiyear, statewide conference around the theme of tolerance.  \n• Led by drama teacher Karen Portis, student council leaders in Rockford, Illinois, wrote a play about stereotypes and presented it at their Not in Our School [assembly.](assembly. www.pbs.org/niot/citizens_respond/illinois.html#rock)[ www.pbs.org/niot/citizens_respond/illinois.html\\#rock](assembly. www.pbs.org/niot/citizens_respond/illinois.html#rock)  \n• After a mother and her daughters were threatened for starting an antihate campaign in Kalispell, Montana, students of Flathead Junior High School started a Not in Our School program to show support for their classmates.  \n• In Modesto, California, junior college teacher and local NAACP president Gladys Williams helped to establish the annual Not in Our Town march, rally and poster contest, in which the local schools, government and newspaper have all become involved.  \nIn some of the stories featured in the documentary and outlined in this Educator Guide, young people play a central role. In Newark, California, while one group of students did nothing in the face of a horrible murder committed by their peers, another group played a leading role in educating their friends, families and civic leaders about the importance of fighting intolerance.  \nThe citizens, leaders and students in Not in Our Town show us that no matter who is the target of hate, the only way to help ensure safety for everyone is to stand up for each other and unite against hate.  \nWe look forward to continuing to learn from you and your students.  \nPatrice O’Neill  \nFor The Working Group/KQED Production Team  \nAbout the Program  \nNot in Our Town Northern California: When Hate Happens Here looks at five communities that are dealing with hate violence. The film’s four segments focus on hate crimes that took place in these five communities between 1999 and 2004. Taken together, the stories reveal that whether the crimes are motivated by racism, anti-Semitism, or gender or sexual orientation, hate is the same.  \nFrom Sacramento to the center of San Francisco, from the shadow of Mount Shasta to the suburbs of Silicon Valley, community leaders and ordinary citizens have found new and innovative ways to move beyond controversy and differences to create safe communities for all residents.  \nAfter a transgender teen is killed by local youth in the Sil","cbCaijTzNjVWxZZm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijTzNjVWxZZm","pdf",2239844,"English","# About the Program\n## Program Focus and Segments\n## Community Responses in Northern California\n# Educational Outreach and Resources\n## Co-production and Coordination","[{\"question\":\"What is the focus of Not in Our Town Northern California?\",\"answer\":\"It examines five Northern California communities dealing with hate violence, highlighting hate crimes that occurred between 1999 and 2004 and showing how communities respond.\"},{\"question\":\"Which types of hate motivations does the program address?\",\"answer\":\"The guide notes that whether crimes are motivated by racism, anti-Semitism, or gender or sexual orientation, hate is treated as the same underlying issue.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the educator guide describe students’ roles in the project?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights that young people take central roles, from organizing conferences and campaigns to educating classmates and supporting affected communities after violent incidents.\"}]","Educator Guide - Not in Our Town Northern California | PDF"]
