I am proud that CLR puts its money where its mouth is when it comes to diversity and inclusion - we publish diverse authors, train on implicit bias, fund tribal reparations, follow an inclusive style guide, select members based on the whole person, etc. There is always more to do, but these are really meaningfully efforts. When I tell people what kind of organization CLR is, these are the things I mention.
