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. Read report.

Eradicating Poverty in Southern Communities. The SPLC aims to reduce
the number of people living in poverty in the South by dismantling the
systems that exacerbate wealth inequality and advocating for
commonsense solutions, including protecting and expanding access to
public goods and services. Last year marked an unprecedented
investment by the SPLC in fighting hate and securing democracy across the
South, as we advocated with farmers of color whose access to
unprecedented debt relief through the American Rescue Plan is being
threatened by litigation led by white nationalists and white identity
extremists. Improved pre-trial detention practices that amount to
debtors' prisons - jailing people simply because they
cannot afford to pay bail - through monitoring and litigation
against county bail practices in Alabama, Louisiana and Tennessee.
Stopped an Alabama law that criminalized and jailed people for
panhandling. Secured class certification in our lawsuit to ensure that
47,500 Medicaid-eligible children in Louisiana have meaningful access
to the quality mental health services the state is obligated to
provide. These victories are just a few examples of the groundbreaking
progress the SPLC and our partners made in 2021. To learn more about
the transformative change that you made possible, view the full impact

Impact by the numbers. 212,000+ people represented in class action
litigation for economic justice. 47 cases actively litigated to
advance economic justice for immigrants, children, people with
disabilities and low-income communities in the South. $118,500
distributed to 49 organizations to provide direct services like food,
shelter and health care to low-income communities in our Southern
states.

The country needs our work now more than ever. With your help, we
expanded our work for justice and equity and supported the rights and
dignity of those most harmed by systemic oppression. We are so proud
of the results reported in our 2021 Impact Report - results that
are only possible thanks to your generosity and support. Please make a
