Friend,

We are deeply grateful for your commitment to ending hate violence in our country. But, Friend, without your support, we cannot provide critical services to represent victims of hate crimes, track and expose hate groups, demand action from our lawmakers and sustain transformative partnerships with educators.

At the SPLC, we’ve worked to liberate our communities from hate and extremism for over 50 years. Reported hate crime incidents are skyrocketing, and we need to increase our resources to match the severity of the problem. U.S. Department of Justice studies suggest that nearly 250,000 people each year are victimized by hate crimes.

As Hate Crimes Awareness Month draws to a close today, we are humbly asking for your support. Your contributions play a critical role in sustaining our efforts to offset the violence and extremism happening all over the country.

Friend, please chip in today to help us continue the fight against the rising tide of hate crimes.

Thank you for supporting our mission. While new laws and policies are vitally important, we believe the solution lies within the hearts and minds of the American people — goodhearted people like you.

Sincerely,

Your friends at the Southern Poverty Law Center
