Confluence Rising, formerly the California Conference for Equality and Justice, operates from Long Beach, California, in the civic and social sector. It educates and empowers youth and adults to pursue equity and justice by examining power and privilege across personal and societal levels and by encouraging collaboration across differences to advance fairness. The organization creates spaces for dialogue on sensitive topics and supports participants in developing action plans, with Restorative Justice practices embedded to strengthen resilience and address identity-based conflict. Annually, it delivers experiential training and coaching on inclusion and equity to more than 3,000 adults and supports over 1,500 youth and young adults through programs such as Building Bridges Camp, Conscious Classrooms, and Restorative Youth Diversion. Based in Long Beach, it operates as a small to mid-sized staff organization. In April 2026, Confluence Rising participated in the Roots of Justice Convening in Long Beach, a gathering that brought together hundreds of professionals, educators, and youth to confront hate and foster more inclusive communities.
