What is United Against Hate Week?

United Against Hate Week (Nov. 13-20, 2022) is a call for local civic action to stop the hate and implicit biases that are a dangerous threat to the safety and civility of our neighborhoods, towns and cities.

United Against Hate Week emerged from a United Against Hate poster campaign created by Bay Area Cities in response to white supremacist rallies in Berkeley and San Francisco in 2017. 

Since inception, United Against Hate Week has spread to over 200+ communities throughout California and across the U.S.

Film Screening and Discussion


Repairing the World: Stories from the Tree of Life

Sunday, November 20th, 7-9 pm at the 418 Project (former Riverfront Theater).

Santa Cruz County United for Safe and Inclusive Communities (SCCUSIC), in partnership with Temple Beth El, the Resource Center for Nonviolence, and the Santa Cruz Public Libraries, presents the documentary REPAIRING THE WORLD: Stories From the Tree of Life. Join in the discussion after the movie with filmmaker Patrice O'Neill. Click here to see the trailer.

 

Repairing the World: Stories from the Tree of Life documents a community’s response to hate and antisemitism in the aftermath of a horrific tragedy: the assault on three congregations at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA on October 27, 2018. Eleven lives were taken in the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S. history. The trauma and grief of that day continues to affect the entire Pittsburgh community and the nation to this day.


In the wake of the tragedy the Jewish community and their neighbors strengthened their bonds of mutual respect and compassion and courageously confronted this hate crime. Against a backdrop of increasing polarization, the traumatized community has come together to heal from the impact of anti-Semitism, racism, hate speech, and gun violence.


Through the voices of survivors, family members, diverse Pittsburgh residents, and community leaders, the film shows a powerful display of unity in a moment of crisis and demonstrates what it means for a community to be "Stronger than Hate."  

Documentary feature, USA, 2022.

Running time 2  hours, 2 minutes.


Winner of the Audience Award at the 2022 San Francisco Jewish Film Festival.

"Heartbreakingly relevant, Repairing the World: Stories from the Tree of Life, chronicles the tumultuous three years following the mass shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue which took the lives of 11 Jewish congregants in the fall of 2018."
