We extend our deepest gratitude... Friend, On behalf of all SPLC staff, we extend our deepest gratitude. All of our work is powered by the generosity of people like you — people who share our vision for a just, equitable world. In response to rising hate crime numbers, we made the decision to designate October as Hate Crimes Awareness Month. Due to incomplete reporting, the numbers only show a small fraction of hate-fueled crimes. Still, they reveal an alarming trend. The FBI’s 2022 hate crimes report documented 11,643 hate crimes last year, the highest number the FBI has ever recorded and a 7% increase from the previous year’s record-breaking total. Thanks to your support, we were able to raise crucial awareness and resources for hate crime victims and their communities. Thank you for helping to stop the cycle of hate that too often ends with dire consequences for the Black community and other communities of color, Jewish people and the LGBTQ+ community. Your support does more than just power our work. It lets us know that your faith in the march for justice is as strong as ours. In solidarity, Your friends at the Southern Poverty Law Center P.S. If you missed the chance to give during Hate Crimes Awareness Month, it’s not too late! Click here to make a one-time or monthly gift. |
