Friend,

The new year is here, and with it comes new threats to justice and democracy. We need thousands of people like you — people committed to fairness and human rights for all — if we’re going to face these challenges.

Justice work never stops, and neither can we — especially right now. The start of a new year brings a refreshed sense of progress, purpose and opportunity, and it’s important that we keep up the momentum.

Our resistance is deeply needed during a time when extremists are taking every opportunity to destroy free and fair elections, force marginalized identities back into the shadows and rob Black and Brown communities of the civil rights we’ve fought so hard to secure.

That’s why we’re asking you to add your name to our 2026 Pledge to Stand Against Hate.

Hate and extremism fray the fabric of society, leaving entire communities feeling fearful, isolated and vulnerable — and we know you see that too. But we’re not powerless to stop it.

We believe that everyone deserves to feel safe no matter what their skin color is, where they’re from, what language they speak, what their religious beliefs may be, what their gender is or who they love, and we’re not alone. Our movement for justice is thousands strong, and together, we can build a path forward to a world free of hate.

We’re in for a year of tough challenges and new threats to justice and democracy. But, with your help, we’ll continue resisting hate and advocating for justice in the courts ⚖️, on the ground ✊🏾, and in the halls of power 🏛.

When you add your name to our 2026 Pledge to Stand Against Hate, you’re committing to keeping our movement alive — and that commitment means everything.

In solidarity,
Team SPLC
