White supremacy is one of the most “persistent and lethal threats” facing our nation right now. Dear friend, The SPLC has been fighting racism, hate and extremism for more than half a century now, but we’ve never seen a threat like what we’re facing today. This threat is taking direct aim at Black and Brown communities in the South and across the country. Recently, a national security review by the Biden administration found that white supremacy is one of the most “persistent and lethal threats” facing our nation right now. The latest FBI hate crime report documented the highest number of hate crimes recorded since the agency began collecting data. That’s why we are thrilled to announce a special opportunity for you to make an even greater impact on our work. Thanks to a generous group of SPLC supporters, all year-end donations will be matched — dollar for dollar — up to $1 million. We know we don’t need to convince you of the gravity of the threat we face. As a supporter of our mission, you already understand what makes this moment so dangerous. In the Deep South and beyond, the radical right is carrying out shameful attacks on voting rights intended to undo decades of progress. They are normalizing racist and antisemitic rhetoric like the Great Replacement conspiracy theory implicated in last year’s horrific anti-Black massacre in Buffalo, NY. They are brazenly attempting to whitewash Black history and silence Black, Brown and LGBTQ+ voices in schools. The looming threat of political violence hovers over us, tied directly to these attacks on diversity and civil rights. Our country is teetering on the edge of the abyss... and it’s the moral courage and leadership of people like you that will save us. Friend, you are an essential partner in this work. Please make a contribution in support of our work today when it will be matched, dollar for dollar, doubling your impact. Whatever you’re able to give will be immediately doubled with the matching funds and help make sure the SPLC has the resources urgently needed for our 2024 Action Plan for Justice and Equity:
We have our work cut out for us. But no one is better equipped than the SPLC to take on the far-right extremist movement laying siege to our democracy. We are confident that our movement is stronger than hate. Together, with the passion, commitment, and leadership of people like you, we are capable of building a world where justice is a reality for all. The march continues, Your friends at the Southern Poverty Law Center |
