Dear ,

Sounds Like Hate, a new podcast brought to you by the Southern Poverty Law Center, is an audio documentary series about the dangers of everyday people who engage in extremism – and about people who are trying to disengage from a life of hatred.

Next week, after the release of the first episode of Sounds Like Hate, we’re hosting an online panel discussion that will give you a behind-the-scenes look at the podcast and the timely issues that it covers. Please join us:

Sounds Like Hate Podcast Panel Discussion
Wednesday, Aug. 12
7 p.m. Central Time
Zoom Webinar

In the webinar, Eric K. Ward, SPLC senior fellow, will moderate a discussion about Sounds Like Hate. Topics from the first episode, “Getting Out,” include the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017, at which protester Heather Heyer was killed by an extremist. The panelists will include Geraldine Moriba, Sounds Like Hate producer; Susan Bro, Heyer’s mother; Howard Graves, SPLC senior research analyst; Sammy Rangel, executive director and co-founder of Life After Hate; and Amy Spitalnick, executive director of Integrity First for America.

All of us at the SPLC are incredibly proud of the Sounds Like Hate podcast and eager to share it with the world. The first episode, “Getting Out” – which tells the story of a young woman who became radicalized but managed to escape the far right – will launch on Monday. You can listen and subscribe to the series with your podcast app of choice.

Whether or not you’ve had a chance to listen to the podcast, we hope you’ll join us next Wednesday for this important and timely discussion. Click here to register now.

In solidarity,
Your friends at the SPLC
