The event will also include a Q&A session and a recorded
conversation with Congressman Bennie G. Thompson of Mississippi and
SPLC President and CEO Margaret Huang about today's climate of
hate and extremism in the U.S. We'll also take a deep dive into
how legislation and policy can help address hate and extremism, in a
conversation between SPLC Chief Policy Director LaShawn Warren and
U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland.

The SPLC has published the Year in Hate & Extremism, an annual
census and analysis of hate groups and extremist organizations, each
year since 1990. We define a hate group as an organization that
- based on its official statements or principles, the statements
of its leaders, or its activities - has beliefs or practices
that attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for their
immutable characteristics. The FBI uses similar criteria in its
definition of a hate crime.

We hope to see you Wednesday. Don't forget to click here to
