We are the California Civil Rights Law Group. Our firm fights on behalf of plaintiffs in employment civil rights cases throughout the state of California.
Our team has been busy over the past 5 years fighting for Black workers' rights to a harassment free workplace at Tesla. The fight is far from over, as we continue to receive calls about the pervasive use of the N-word and other racial epithets at Tesla.

@vilius63@teslaownersSV The original Will Rogers was for racial equality. You apparently are not. The elevator operator who you disparage was called the N-word over 60 times, but then that doesn’t worry you because you’re white. That’s just pathetic.
@POTUS This is a basic right denied to Black Americans every day. It proves that systemic racism is rampant in America and that all of us must fight it.
Congratulations to Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson and her historic confirmation to the United States Supreme Court #Herstory#SCOTUSConfirmation

“They say you learn more from your defeats than your victories,” said Organ. “Particularly if you can analyze what you did wrong.”
Since then, Organ and his firm have heard from hundreds of Black people who say they’ve had similar experiences https://t.co/lLEiYkM1cs
"His aim isn’t just to get Black workers their day in court and the restitution he says they deserve, but also to convince Tesla that corporate policies that allow for unchecked racism don’t pay."

We filed a lawsuit on behalf of a former student of Idyllwild Arts Academy, alleging sexual assault, abuse, and harassment while a minor by actor Keith Lewis. The academy was negligent in failing to protect the minor, investigate, and report the assault. https://t.co/jpByFtCqAC
"We just want to be just treated and seen as equal human beings," - Owen Diaz on @GMA after receiving a unanimous jury verdict in his favor and against Tesla by a San Francisco jury last Monday.

“It’s a great thing when one of the richest corporations in America has to have a reckoning of the abhorrent conditions at its factory for Black people,” said Diaz’s attorney Lawrence A. Organ of @CivilRightsCA
Last week, Owen Diaz courageously spoke truth to corporate power. Yesterday, after almost 4 years in litigation, he won his case in federal court. This case is not only a win for our incredible client, it is a monumental win for civil rights in the workplace.
A jury ordered Tesla to pay $137 million to Owen Diaz, a Black former employee who accused the carmaker of ignoring racial abuse he faced while working there, his lawyer said on Monday. https://t.co/ws4jffG4bP
