Good morning, Friend,
I wanted to personally reach out to you because today is Giving Tuesday, a global day of generosity — when you can double your impact when you give to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Today, you give because you believe in justice.
❗And this year, Giving Tuesday is especially critical. Hate and extremism are threatening our civil and human rights. Our democracy is being undermined by relentless attacks on voting. And the far right is leveraging anti-DEI rhetoric to rob marginalized groups of their power and force them into the shadows.
Friend, that’s why it’s so important that you make your generous gift today — every dollar you give before midnight will be matched dollar-for-dollar, meaning you’ll make double the impact on our work to eradicate poverty, protect democracy and ensure justice and human rights for all.

When we talk about impact, we’re really talking about people.
People like Tina Payne — a lifelong Mississippian whose story shows exactly why your support matters so deeply.

Tina’s story shows the reality so many families are facing.
Tina spent decades operating machinery in a catfish processing plant in the Mississippi Delta. The work was grueling, and years of hard labor took a heavy toll on her body, leaving her disabled.
When Tina applied for Medicaid, she expected the system she had paid into for years would be a safety net. Instead, she endured months of red tape only to receive a denial that left her in pain and without coverage.
Tina deserved better — and we know you agree.

Tina was eventually able to enroll in Medicaid after months of relying on her family and friends for help, rationing medication and skipping doctor’s appointments she could not afford.
And she is not alone in this struggle. Her experience reflects a systemic failure rooted in the part of a much older story about how the South has long denied Black people access to care, dignity and rest.
Friend, I shared Tina’s story with you because we want you to know just how meaningful your gift can be this Giving Tuesday.
When you make your matched gift to the SPLC today, you’ll double your impact on our work to ensure people can live in a world free of injustice, where all people are afforded dignity and human rights. ([link removed])

Thank you for choosing compassion, and for showing up when it matters most.
