The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is a nonprofit civil rights organization based in Montgomery, Alabama. Founded in 1971 by attorneys Morris Dees and Joe Levin, with civil rights leader Julian Bond as its first president, the SPLC is dedicated to combating racial injustice and advocating for marginalized communities. Its mission includes dismantling white supremacy and addressing systemic discrimination through litigation, education, and public policy initiatives. The SPLC engages in high-impact litigation to challenge discriminatory practices and has achieved significant legal victories against hate groups. It also monitors hate groups through its Intelligence Project, providing valuable resources to law enforcement. The organization advocates for reforms in voting rights, criminal justice, and economic equity, and collaborates with grassroots organizations to tackle systemic racism and poverty.
