History of Shasta County Citizens Against Racism

SCCAR was formed in 1988 in response to a racially motivated shooting that occurred in Redding. A group of citizens, outraged at this attack, decided it was time to publicly speak out against racism and racial violence. 

SCCAR has evolved to become actively supportive of community efforts to oppose hate crimes of all types. The members of SCCAR work to promote social justice, equal opportunity and to increase awareness of the needs and concerns of all Shasta County's varied communities.
