On April 6, the Not In Our Town project will launch NIOT.org, a social networking site for people fighting hate and working to create safe, inclusive communities and schools where everyone is respected. NIOT.org will connect people everywhere to network and share local stories of success and inspire others to fight hate in their communities, Corodimas says.
