Understanding our Impact. The SPLC is marking another year of
important impacts we've been able to make with the help of our
generous supporters and partners, through a collection of data and
reporting available in a brand new home on our website.

Protecting Voting Rights and Civic Engagement. The SPLC is working to
overturn key voter suppression measures in the Deep South. We're
also investing in our Southern communities to mobilize voters of color
in record numbers and protect equal access to the ballot box and fair
representation. Last year marked an unprecedented investment by SPLC
in fighting hate and securing democracy across the South, as we
supported 55 Black- and Brown-led civic engagement organizing in the
South through our Vote Your Voice program, which provides funding
partnerships and capacity-building support to grassroots organizations
that are often overlooked by national funders. Kept voters safe by
training Georgia election officials and over 50 grassroots
organizations about the threats extremists pose to democratic
organizing and the election administration process. Fought voter
suppression by filing lawsuits in Georgia and Florida against new
voter suppression bills that increased barriers to the ballot for all
voters. And filed a complaint on behalf of voters with disabilities in
Alabama over the state's failure to provide a fully accessible
absentee voting program amid an ongoing pandemic.

Voting rights are under attack in the South and beyond - so we
are escalating our efforts to defend all voters' access to the
ballot. To learn more about the milestones achieved by the SPLC and
our partners in defending voting rights in 2021, thanks to your
support, view the full impact report here. Read the report here.

Impact by the numbers. $11,285,000 distributed through our Vote Your
Voice program to 55 grassroots organizations. 32,000 people contacted
through our Vote Your Voice program turned out to vote in the Georgia
runoff election. 12 lawsuits filed or litigated to protect voting
rights.

Read the report.

The country needs our work now more than ever. The war on voting
rights is far from over - and we need to be prepared to step up
and defend our country's most fundamental rights and democratic
principles. We are deeply proud of the progress we made alongside our
partners last year, as shown in our 2021 Impact Report, but we know
that much more remains to be done. Will you please make a special gift
to the SPLC today to ensure we can continue our vigilant defense of
voting rights for years to come? Donate now.
