Who We Are

The California Conference for Equality and Justice is a premier, non-profit human relations organization in southern California dedicated to eliminating bias, bigotry and racism in America. CCEJ views its fundamental role as breaking down the distance between people by promoting understanding and respect among all races, religions and cultures through advocacy, conflict resolution and education.
CCEJ provides a number of vital human relations programs focusing upon relationships across racial, cultural, gender, socioeconomic and religious groupings. This focus on inclusion sets CCEJ apart from many other community based human relation organizations.
We open minds.
