Not In Our Town

Not in Our Town (NIOT) is a national movement that encourages and connects people who are responding to hate and working to build more inclusive communities. Developed by The Working Group, Not In Our Town began with a PBS documentary that told the story of how people in Billings, Montana joined together to respond to a series of hate crimes in their town. This simple, powerful story of citizens banding together struck a chord with audiences, and created a model that inspired viewers around the country to hold their own campaigns against intolerance.

One Kanawha s a NIOT coalition of Charleston area organizations and individuals who share a committment to living as a part of an inclusive community. Born during the summer of 2008 out of a series of community dialogs, OneKanawha has as a central purpose the fostering of such dialogs and conversations as will increase understanding among diverse people. One Kanawha is a network of individual organizations and social justice advocates. (Membership in the virtual network through the NIOT website is open to all who share our interest and commitment.)
