Los Gatos Stands United Against Hate Walk
The Chamber stands with the Town and supports its campaign Los Gatos United Against Hate. Join us in the Los Gatos Stands United Against Hate Walk on November 14 at 2pm. The walk begins at Fisher Middle School and ends at the Civic Center.
The Walk is part of United Against Hate Week, November 14-20 (www.unitedagainsthateweek.org), an effort organized by Not in Our Town with events all over the state. Not In Our Town launched in 1995 with a powerful PBS documentary about citizens in Billings, Montana standing in solidarity with Jewish, Black and Native American people who had experienced hate crimes. It is now a movement, empowering people everywhere to stand united against hate.
Walk Details:
The Walk begins at RJ Fisher Middle School at 2pm.

Creative chants also will make the walk spirited, but note that we will be following all Los Gatos ordinances and not be using megaphones or noise makers.Parking, Restrooms & SafetyParking for the Walk is available at Fisher Middle School, behind Fisher in the District Office parking lot off of Roberts Rd, at Van Meter Elementary School, Los Gatos Wines & Liquors, and street parking.
