- Tracking the activities of hate groups and domestic terrorists across America, and filing lawsuits that seek to destroy networks of radical extremists.

Thousands of
vulnerable children – disproportionately black and often suffering from
learning disabilities – are being needlessly pushed out of schools and into the
juvenile justice system.
The SPLC monitors
hate groups and extremists throughout the U.S. and exposes their activities to
law enforcement agencies, the media, and the public. The center has crippled
some of the country’s most notorious hate groups by suing them for murders and
other violent acts committed by their members.
Immigrants perform
some of the hardest, most dangerous jobs in our economy – for the least amount
of pay. But they are routinely cheated out of their wages and denied basic
protections in the workplace. They face bigotry and discrimination in their
communities and are vulnerable to hate crimes.
The SPLC is dedicated
to defending the rights of the LGBT community. Its current work has a national
reach but is primarily focused on the Southeast where relatively few
organizations advocate for this community.
The center’s Teaching
Tolerance program reduces prejudice, improves intergroup relations, and
supports equitable school experiences for the nation’s children. The center
provides free anti-bias resources to teachers.
