The California Conference for Equality & Justice, is a human relations organization dedicated to eliminating bias, bigotry and racism in America.

Every community has a need for safe homes, schools and neighborhoods. We all deserve nurturing relationships and a sense of belonging. All people have value and dignity, yet not everyone has the same access or opportunity. Stereotyping, prejudice, hate crimes and violence are realities that impact our communities.

At CCEJ, we respond to hate and discrimination by building cultures of connection, respect and accountability.

CCEJ’s programs are focused on raising awareness, facilitating dialogue, healing conflicts and bridging differences. Our Building Bridges for Youth programs give young people a safe place to talk about culture and conflict, a place where they are valued and listened to. CCEJ helps youth build confidence and skills for communication and leadership.

CCEJ intentionally works where differences collide and conflict exists - in schools, businesses and neighborhoods. Using restorative justice practices and tools, CCEJ promotes alternative approaches to school discipline and conflict resolution in neighborhoods, workplaces, and the criminal justice system.

By embracing differences and striving for understanding, CCEJ seeks to build a unified, peaceful and inclusive Southern California, with justice for all.
