Friend: Giving Tuesday is tomorrow, but we’re not waiting to launch this important match.

Our work is critical now. As threats against our democracy grow, we must be prepared to counter attempts to dismantle every bit of progress we’ve made since the Civil Rights Movement.

Give boldly. Give early.

Give today and your Giving Tuesday donation will be DOUBLED, dollar-for-dollar.

This is your chance to DOUBLE your impact on the communities that need us most. >>

For more than 50 years, caring people like you have stood united with the Southern Poverty Law Center to confront hate and extremism and to defend communities targeted by bigotry and violence.

Here’s what your generosity can help fuel:

• Strategic litigation: With over 100 active legal cases that span months and sometimes years, we defend civil rights and protect our democracy in the courtroom.

• Investigative reporting: We expose and counter the false narratives and extremist propaganda that seek to divide us — helping communities stay informed and united.

• Policy advocacy: We work with state lawmakers to introduce commonsense legislation that protects immigrants, LGBTQ+ communities, the right to vote and survivors of hate crimes.

• Public education: Our nationally recognized, award-winning Learning for Justice program equips educators, communities and young people with the necessary tools to challenge injustice and build inclusive, equitable communities — all at no cost.

The challenges we face are daunting. But there’s something powerful we know for sure: When we take collective action, we can change the trajectory of our country.

Real change begins with you, Friend. When we work together, we build a better future for all Americans, where every voice is heard and justice prevails.

Make your Giving Tuesday gift today, have it doubled, and watch your donation make twice the impact. >>

With gratitude,

The Southern Poverty Law Center
