We must be ambitious to overcome the challenges we face...

friend,

I wish I was writing to you with better news. But right now, the path to achieving our vision of an equitable world where all can thrive is increasingly threatened by the mainstreaming of hate and violent extremism. We must urgently confront the hate-filled, divisive forces that seek to divide our nation.

In her last message to you, Cherry shared our goal for this campaign. It’s so ambitious because we must be ambitious to overcome the challenges we face. Friend, we’ve yet to reach our million-dollar goal. I encourage you to contribute what you can to ensure we meet our goal before the deadline tonight.

This is a community effort, and thousands of supporters have already made a special gift to power our work to end white supremacy. Please consider joining them before midnight.

This is your last chance: We’re still falling short, and your help is deeply needed. Make your first gift to the SPLC to get us across the finish line.

Make a special gift

I would like to extend my gratitude to the thousands of SPLC supporters who have generously contributed to advance our mission for justice. Realizing our vision for an inclusive, multiracial democracy won’t be easy, but I know that the goodwill of mission-driven people like you means the march will continue.

Thank you for all that you do for the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Sincerely,

Margaret Huang
President and CEO, SPLC and SPLC Action Fund

Subject: Less than 24 hours to go

friend,

As a loyal supporter of the SPLC, I want you to know exactly where we stand. With less than 24 hours to go before our deadline, we’re short of reaching our $1 million goal.

I’m still hopeful... With the goodwill and generosity of supporters like you, I believe we can reach — or even exceed — $1 million before midnight strikes.

Please, friend, will you join the SPLC’s movement for justice by making your first special gift before the deadline tonight?

The right of Black and Brown students to an equitable higher education was just rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court, legislators continue to erode voting rights ahead of 2024 and cruel attacks on the LGBTQ+ community are escalating. We cannot stand by the sidelines at a time like this.

If we reach our million-dollar goal tonight we’ll be empowered with the resources we need to defend our hard-won civil rights and safeguard our democracy.

Donate

With gratitude,

Cherry Z. Gamble
Chief Development Officer
