Programs

Demystifying the DOJ

In an effort to develop knowledge and awareness of DOJ’s resources and programs, CARE hosts virtual presentations for the public, one of which is a quarterly virtual presentation series entitled Demystifying the DOJ. These presentations are opportunities to learn directly from DOJ experts and ask questions regarding the work of DOJ’s various divisions, sections, bureaus, and offices.

For information on upcoming presentations and an archive of past presentations, please visit our Demystifying the DOJ webpage.

CARE Community Briefings

DOJ regularly publishes reports, public resource materials and data on various important topics. CARE Community Briefings are virtual briefings designed for the public and are hosted by CARE to share information about these resources in a timely manner.

CARE hosts virtual and in-person discussions with community organizations and leaders across the state on priority areas, including hate crimes, reproductive health, environmental justice, gun violence prevention and housing justice. These discussions serve to inform the policies and practices at DOJ.
