You can comment and ask questions on those social media platforms. This 90-minute event will be moderated by SPLC Chief of Staff and Culture Lecia Brooks and feature a presentation sharing key research findings and insights from our latest Year in Hate report, led by Susan Corke, director of the SPLC’s Intelligence Project, and senior research analysts Cassie Miller and Rachel Carroll Rivas. There will also be a panel discussion on community resilience featuring SPLC Chief Program Officer Ann Beeson and two executive directors of community activism organizations: Aneelah Afzali of MAPS-AMEN and Ki Harris of the Freedom Project Network. 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 you can join us today. In solidarity, Your friends at the Southern Poverty Law Center
