Show #503, hosted by Jason Biggs, explores what schools, groups and individuals are doing to promote racial, religious and cultural understanding at a time when growing numbers of Arab-Americans and Muslims are being victimized. A Sikh teen who has been harassed and Muslim teens from various countries dispel stereotypes by providing information about their different forms of Islamic religion and culture. They discuss how they have been affected and explain the differences between themselves and extremists. We also hear from Palestinian and Israeli teens who lived together at a summer camp and found solutions to co-existence. See how a diverse group of teen peer educators are working to prevent any form of stereotyping.

A PLACE OF OUR OWN is the English-language companion to the Spanish-language series LOS NINOS EN SU CASA. Both series are designed for parents and anyone else who takes care of young children: grandparents, nannies, babysitters and home daycare providers. The series covers subjects such as tantrums, literacy, preventing obesity, and speech and language delays. These Peabody Award-winning series combine an entertainment format -- the daytime talk/demonstration show -- with solid educational information on how young children learn, and what adults need to know to help them be prepared for kindergarten and beyond.

The Safe Schools Coalition grew from a Seattle-based initiative aimed at reducing bias-based bullying and harassment in local schools, to being an internationally recognized organization with the most comprehensive on-line resources on safe schools information in the world – literally. With minimal staff, dedicated volunteers, and modest financial support from a wide array of public and private organizations, the Safe Schools Coalition has a leading role in making schools more welcoming, safe and supportive for LGBT youth.

 

Become A Table Captain
Table Captains are vital to the success of the Pacific Northwest Dinner, as they encourage their friends, family and associates to attend the event. Each table seats 10 and Table Captains strive to sell all the seats at their table, but are not held financially responsible for the whole table. If interested, please sign up today by emailing tablecaptain@hrcseattle.org
