What is the REIB Statewide Initiative?

The Racial Equity and Implicit Bias (REIB) Statewide Initiative is a series of learning programs designed to support a more equitable and inclusive California. REIB Statewide Initiative provides virtual and in-person workshops and learning collaboratives for individuals and organizations that support CalWORKs and CalFresh program participants across all 58 counties in California.
 

In order to align with Governor Newsom’s vision for California and its true commitment to equity, it is important that CDSS as an agency, overcomes its long history of overt and implicit racism and bias at the federal and state levels. Although these systems and practices precede us, it is our collective responsibility to address them, learn about them, and change them.
