As part of the national United Against Hate Week movement, SCPL has partnered with Santa Cruz County United for Safe and Inclusive Communities (SCCUSIC) to bring community members together through films, conversations and actionable opportunities to prevent hate violence and to build safe, inclusive environments where everyone can participate in public life. Join us at Greater Purpose Brewery for a free outdoor screening and engaging discussion of Not in Our Town short films.

This curated list of films feature how dedicated people and community groups stood, spoke and acted against hate when hate crimes were committed in their towns. A facilitated discussion will follow each film to explore what, where, why and how Santa Cruz County communities can unite against hate. Special thanks to Greater Purpose Brewery for hosting this event in their outdoor beer garden and making provisions for us to move inside in case of inclement weather. Food and beer will be available for purchase. Proof of vaccination or a mask is required for entry into the taproom. Cheers!
