Hate Map
The Southern Poverty Law Center documented 733 active hate groups in the United States last year.
What We Do
We employ a three-pronged strategy to battle racial and social injustice:
Fighting Hate
Southern Poverty Law Center monitors hate groups and other extremists throughout the U.S. and exposes their activities to law enforcement agencies, the media and the public.
Teaching Tolerance
We know we don't achieve equality and justice through the courts and investigative reporting alone. The future of our great country lies in the hands of today's young people.
Seeking Justice
We use the courts and other forms of advocacy to win systemic reforms on behalf of victims of bigotry and discrimination.
Support Our Work
Your gift will help win justice on behalf of those who have no other champion, expose and fight the hate that thrives in our country, and provide tolerance education materials free of charge to schools across our nation.
Our Priorities
