About The Working Group / Not In Our Town

Not In Our Town is the primary program of The Working Group, an Oakland, California-based nonprofit media and community engagement company founded in 1988. Not In Our Town (NIOT) creates film, media and resources, and works with local communities to address hate, racism and bullying, and build safe, inclusive communities for all. NIOT's goal is to foster thriving, diverse, and equitable communities where all residents feel safe, included, and encouraged to participate in public life. NIOT's public television programs and 100 short films have been seen by millions, and through partnerships with local public media stations, diverse community organizations and civic groups have become a widely available and trusted resource.
