Building Understanding. Inspiring Change. Strengthening Community.
Founded in 1992 in response to hatred and discrimination, Carroll Citizens for Racial Equity (CCRE) has spent more than three decades championing dignity, understanding, and racial equity throughout Carroll County. What began as a community's determination to stand against hate has grown into an enduring commitment to education, meaningful dialogue, advocacy, and collaboration. Today, CCRE continues to bring people together, bridge differences, and inspire positive change toward a more inclusive, equitable, and welcoming community for all.
