Resources
Educating Californians about our civil rights laws is one of the primary goals of the Civil Rights Department (CRD), in order to help ensure everyone is aware of their rights and obligations, and to help prevent discrimination from even occurring. CRD provides a range of educational resources, including email updates, electronic and print publications, visual media, and training. You can also contact CRD directly with questions or requests.

Civil Rights 101 Webinar Series
Each month, the California Civil Rights Department (CRD) hosts a webinar series on the basics of anti-discrimination laws in California. The webinars are every third Wednesday from 11 AM to 12 PM PT, generally alternating month-to-month between covering issues around discrimination in housing or employment.
The webinar series is geared toward educating tenants, housing seekers, landlords, property managers, housing providers, employers, hiring managers, human resource professionals, workers, job seekers, and the general public of their civil rights and responsibilities under the law. The webinars are free and an excellent opportunity to learn about your rights.
Check the public notices and events section of CRD’s homepage for info on upcoming webinars. Sign up for CRD’s training and resources newsletter for information on upcoming webinars.
Employment Round Tables
The goal of the CRD’s Employment Round Tables is to reduce discrimination and promote equal opportunity. There are three regional employment Round Tables in the state that meet several times a year to discuss strategies to create awareness of the problems of discrimination, harassment and retaliation in employment.
