From the new campaign for diversity and inclusion at Love Has No Labels:

While the vast majority of Americans consider themselves unprejudiced, many of us unintentionally make snap judgments about people based on what we see—whether it’s race, age, gender, religion, sexuality, or disability.

This may be a significant reason many people in the U.S. report they feel discriminated against. Subconscious prejudice — called “implicit bias” — has profound implications for how we view and interact with others who are different from us. It can hinder a person’s ability to find a job, secure a loan, rent an apartment, or get a fair trial, perpetuating disparities in American society.

The Love Has No Labels campaign challenges us to open our eyes to our bias and prejudice and work to stop it in ourselves, our friends, our families, and our colleagues. Rethink your bias at lovehasnolabels.com.

The campaign works in cooperation with 8 nonprofits that celebrate diversity.  Among them:

• The Southern Poverty Law Center specializes in civil rights litigation for a range of marginalized groups. 

• The Anti-Defamation League combats hate crimes and anti-Semitism.

• The Human Rights Campaign, the country’s largest LGBT civil rights advocacy group.
