Communities throughout Marin stand united against hate in all its forms.
In Mill Valley, the Chamber of Commerce, for example, passed out “United Against Hate” posters to hang in the windows of local shops next week. This visible stand also took place in towns and villages throughout Marin County.
The chamber said “we join over 200+ communities in spreading the United Against Hate message: We reject hate of any kind and believe that building a safer and more equitable world starts by working together.”
The Marin County District Attorney’s Office will host a free screening of the anti-hate documentary, ‘Repairing the World: Stories from the Tree of Life’, on Wednesday, Nov.15, at the Lark Theater.
The documentary highlights the community’s response to the 2018 antisemitic attack in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where 11 people were killed.
The screening is supported by Marin elected officials and is co-hosted by the County of Marin, local cities and towns, and national nonprofits including Not In Our Town, United Against Hate, and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.
It is a product of the national initiative, Not In Our Town, that seeks to fight hate, intolerance, and bullying across the country.
The screening is significant, District Attorney Lori Frugoli told Marinscope, because antisemitic incidents are common in Marin County.
The event will start at 5:30 p.m., with the screening commencing at 6:30 p.m. It will feature a performance by the teen vocal group ‘Til Dawn and light refreshments will be provided. A question-and-answer session will follow the screening.
The event is free, but online registration is required to reserve a seat.
