How are these concepts connected and what does it mean for me as a member of the Hingham Community? Presented in partnership with Hingham Net Zero. Zoom info: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82171130777?pwd=Ujl2UUhXMkFEbU9mOFFJS09wMVdOdz09 Meeting ID: 821 7113 0777 Passcode: 394444
Our fiscal sponsor, the South Shore Unity Council, is organizing carpools to travel into Boston with friends from our partner communities across the South Shore to visit the new statue honoring the legacy of Coretta Scott King and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Please let us know if you would like to join us by clicking here to register. Open to all ages and folks from anywhere!
Spend a fun afternoon honing your understanding for easier, more effective conversations about diversity, equity, inclusion & belonging. Ever wonder what the deal is with pronouns these days? Or what exactly are microaggressions? What is the difference between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation anyway? Or maybe you think you know but aren’t quite sure? You’re not alone! Many people hesitate to talk about issues related to identity and diversity for fear of saying the wrong thing and hurting someone’s feelings - or embarrassing themselves. We invite you to come explore these concepts in a fun, judgment-free, “word-game” atmosphere. A few promises: You WILL NOT be required to speak if you don’t want to. You may sit and listen. But, hopefully you will have an opportunity to smile and laugh. You WILL NOT be judged or otherwise made to feel embarrassed that you do or do not have a master’s degree in DEIB lingo. You WILL have fun, meet new community members, and, hopefully, learn something new and useful so you can feel more confident engaging in anti-bias dialogue in the future! There WILL be free light refreshments. Please register in advance using the form below as space is limited!
Your vote counts! It's important to learn about the folks who will make decisions that can affect our town for years to come. Please join us on Facebook or our website as we pose questions related to equity to our Planning Board candidates and hear statements from our other candidates in uncontested races for Hingham public office.
This fun, community-building event is open to all Hingham students and their families - what a great way to get to know our METCO families AND our town just a little better! We will gather in the St. John's parking lot for a 1pm start to the hunt, prepared by Hingham Historical Society interns. The event will conclude with free lunch by Morrell's BBQ back at the church at 2:30pm. Please bring a reusable water bottle to take advantage of the hydration stations. Hope to see you there! This event is free but registration is not closed.

What are you most concerned about in our community? How can we make Hingham more welcoming to all? When the HUC was formed in 2019, we had an open meeting with interested community members at the Hingham Community Center to have this discussion and it’s time to get together again! Come join us, enjoy some light snacks and libations, and share your thoughts about our community to shape our future programming.
