BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The call for a United Against Hate Week emerged from the cities and community leaders that were a part of the original poster campaign. In the Spring of 2018, participants reconvened to expand their United Against Hate message. With support from Not In Our Town (www.niot.org), a leading anti-hate organization, additional communities have joined in the effort to launch an inaugural Week of Action scheduled for November 11-18, 2018. During this week, cities and counties will partner with community based organizations to convene and host events including rallies, film screenings, art projects, speakers, community dialogues and storytelling workshops. These activities will provide a dynamic way to increase engagement across each city, and support Bay Area residents who are standing up to hate in their communities.The board supports activities including a film screening of Embracing The Dream: Celebrating Martin Luther King's Legacy in America Today on November 13, 2018 7pm at the California Theatre in Pittsburg, Ca and the One Human Family Interfaith vigil and service on November 11 5pm in Richmond.
