Working Together

CEDM has worked with District Attorneys, judges, public defenders and executives to bring awareness to implicit bias, but our work goes beyond members of the legal profession. Extending our reach to decision makers in health care, politics, and educational systems, as well as the public, is paramount to undoing the damage that has affected so many in our community.

Breaking Down Barriers

CEDM seeks to bring racial equity not just to the criminal justice system, but to health care, education, the media, politics, and beyond. By providing educational workshops and training programs that focus on implicit bias, CEDM works to bring an end to the unconscious biases that negatively affect disadvantaged members of our community.
