Join the Movement to Protect Civil Rights in 2025
Preserving our democracy and advancing racial justice means taking action at every level — from grassroots organizing in states across the Deep South to defending the rights of communities of color in the highest courts. We all must remember that the people have the power. Through collective action, we can wield that power to hold our elected officials accountable, safeguard our civil and voting rights, and push for policies that truly make a difference in the lives of communities that are struggling.
As we navigate this new political terrain in 2025, the Southern Poverty Law Center is asking you to stand with us in the pursuit of justice and equity. Together we will fight for a better tomorrow.
Understand Our Positions
The SPLC has a strong record of standing against actions by both federal and local government officials that would exacerbate racial inequality and threaten civil and human rights. Read more about our response to recent Trump administration appointments.
Take Action
Trump’s freezing of federal funding, explained
Several executive orders that President Trump signed would cause great harm to individuals as well as our democratic institutions. Trump’s executive orders are attempting to dismantle the federal government and threatening to cut off access to federal funding and programs for everyday people.
Trump’s executive order dismantling the DOE, explained
Closing the department would gut funding for underserved students, result in increased class sizes, cut job training programs, make higher education more expensive and inaccessible, take away special education services for students with disabilities, and roll back protections of students’ civil rights.
