Center for Civil Rights
Discrimination is illegal, unjust and detrimental to the economic growth of underserved communities in the US and around the world.
NCRC seeks to support, create and implement long-term solutions to end discrimination and to provide tools and strategies to strengthen communities and individual economic well-being.
