Not In Our Town is a national movement to stop hate, address bullying, and build safe, inclusive communities for all.
Real change and solutions happen at the local level. The national Not In Our Town (NIOT) inspires and empowers local communities to form groups and develop local leadership by providing films, social media, educational and organizing tools.
Not In Our Town Carlisle is a grassroots group working to build a safe, inclusive, and welcoming community in the greater Carlisle area.
Not In Our Town Carlisle formed in February of 2019 in response to a hate group leafleting and recruiting in Carlisle. A handful of individuals arose from the Moving Circles Conversation – feeling called to stronger public outreach to ensure hate groups will not get a foothold in Carlisle. Everyday people in Carlisle started this movement. Everyday people keep it going.
