Thirty-nine voter outreach organizations across the Deep South will

grants announced on Monday by the Southern Poverty Law Center and the
Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta.

The grants will support voter education, registration and
mobilization, especially among communities of color. The grants add to
an earlier investment of more than $11 million

and Southern Echo.

"With the recent wave of unprecedented attacks on civil rights
and liberties that disproportionately target communities of color,
women and people with disabilities, it is more important than ever to
defend our right to vote and make our voices heard," said Lecia
Brooks, SPLC chief of staff and culture. "These grants will
empower communities to get out to the polls, exercise their freedom to
vote, and stand up for their right to an equal voice in
government."

Vote Your Voice is a partnership between the SPLC and the Community
Foundation for Greater Atlanta

to increase voter registration, participation and civic engagement
among communities of color in the Deep South. The initiative also is
strengthening the field capacity of grassroots organizations through
data and fundraising support and the testing of effective voter
engagement strategies.

The SPLC has pledged $100 million
