We have entered an era where America's most notorious hate
leaders are dining with ex-presidents, hobnobbing with members of
Congress and spreading their vile rhetoric on America's
most-watched cable news channel. It's no surprise that party
leaders are adopting an attitude of hostility and violence.

 "We want to cross the Rubicon. We want total war. We must
be prepared to do battle in every arena. In the media. In the
courtroom. At the ballot box. And in the streets." - New
York Young Republican Club President Gavin Wax

Friend, will you make a gift to the SPLC to advance our
mission for justice and help us counteract hate propaganda and
violence?

Increasingly, hate groups are embracing political violence, from the
January 6 insurrection to the plot to kidnap Michigan's
governor, from politically motivated shootings targeting Democratic
elected officials in New Mexico to the assault rifle-wielding men
"monitoring" polling locations or marching outside the
homes of public health officials. The Proud Boys, whose chapters have
grown considerably since the group participated in the Jan. 6
insurrection, targeted more than 40 LGBTQ+ events in 2022.

These dangerous groups are emboldened, and their activities are
becoming widespread and salient. All of us are impacted by the
reverberating consequences of hate and hate violence, which is why
it's so important for each of us to speak out and act against
hate, extremism, and political violence. Friend, the updated Hate Map below shows how close these
potentially violent groups may be operating near you.

Recent intelligence reports, assessments and congressional testimony
from the FBI and Department of Homeland Security have concluded the
two most lethal elements of today's domestic terrorism threat
are racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists and
anti-government or anti-authority extremists. 

These radicalized, extremist movements are fueling not only horrific
individual acts of terror and violence - like the murder of 10
people out shopping at a supermarket in Buffalo last May - but a
determined assault on American democracy itself. This is
an"all-hands-on-deck" moment for America and for the
Southern Poverty Law Center.

The work of civil rights leaders and sacrifices of generations of
freedom fighters is not done. Our generation must continue to confront
white supremacy and secure dignity and liberation for all. Please make
a special gift today to join us in stamping out hate, dismantling
white supremacy and advancing the human rights of all people.
