An attack on one of us is an attack on all.
This administration uses racism, hate, and fear—openly and repeatedly—as tools of control.
We will not be silent. Read our statement:

The SAVE Act – which would require documents like a passport or birth certificate to #RegisterToVote –has failed in the Senate.
“The ability to vote must be defended every day, and the SPLC will continue to be there.” — Laura Williamson, SPLC Senior Policy Advisor. 🔗: https://bit.ly/3QzWhfr
Let's be clear: The Trump Admin's vendetta against the SPLC is a sign of how impactful their work is.
The SPLC has been at the forefront of exposing some of America's most notorious hate groups, like the KKK. The fact that the Trump Admin feels threatened by that speaks volumes.
Watch now as I'm joined by @dfadcoalition.bsky.social's Christine Wood to recap this past Saturday's #NoKings protests, which attracted more than eight million participants.

A screengrab of the huge crowd at the flagship No Kings rally in the Twin Cities.
We are estimating more than 200,000 people at the flagship No Kings rally in the Twin Cities. #NoKings
This is what democracy looks like 🗣️
People showing up, speaking out, and refusing to accept unchecked power 🙌
The crowd is growing here in St. Paul Minnesota at the State Capitol. There are about 40k people here right now with multiple marches still coming. The temperature has warmed up to a balmy 39 degrees, the sun is out and everybody is having a great time. ❤️#NoKings
The Gang Says #NoKings.
Coordinated to coincide with No Kings Day, London is holding its largest-ever protest against the far-right. #NoKings
On March 28th, we’ll make our position clear: No Thrones, No Crowns, #NoKings. Register to join one of the 3,000 events across the country at NoKing.Org
The SAVE Act would make registering to vote an added burden for U.S. service members and their families. Hear from U.S. Army veteran Naveed Shah (@armyofnaveed.bsky.social):
"What is the SAVE America Act really saving us from?" @bluntrochester.senate.gov calls out the real motive behind Trump's SAVE Act.
The Senate will vote on the SAVE Act this week. If passed, it could block MILLIONS of people from voting by forcing eligible voters to acquire either a passport or a certified copy of their birth certificate to vote - both of which would cost money if you don't have them handy. #SAVEActIsPayToVote
The SAVE Act is part of a broader scheme by Trump & his cronies in Congress to maintain power by picking their voters through keeping millions of Americans from voting. Call your Senators today to urge them to vote NO on the SAVE Act: 833-346-1779
The GOP's SAVE America Act isn't about election integrity. It's about purging millions of voters from the voter rolls. I agree with @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social, this voter suppression bill is nothing short of appalling.
The SAVE Act isn't about stopping fraud — it's about stopping voters.
Getting struck by lightning is more common than noncitizen voting. Noncitizen voting is already illegal and should be prosecuted. #SOTU
FACT CHECK: It’s already illegal, difficult, and extremely rare for non-citizens to vote in federal elections, and there’s no proof of widespread voter fraud anywhere in this country.
The SAVE Act 2.0 is an attempt to make it harder for American citizens to vote. It’s as simple as that. #SOTU
Voting is a fundamental right, not a privilege you have to earn.
The SAVE America Act puts new obstacles in the way of eligible American voters.
Rep. Joe Morelle discusses what it will take to defend the right to vote, end political corruption, and renew our democratic values. Listen to The Briefing with Michael Waldman: bit.ly/4aKSMJt
Rest in Power, Reverend Jesse Jackson. Today, we mourn a giant of the Civil Rights Movement, but we celebrate a legacy that changed the fabric of this nation. Thank you for teaching us that we are somebody, for breaking barriers, and for always keeping hope alive.
BREAKING - the House just passed their voter suppression bill (the so-called "SAVE" Act). We must urge our Senators to block this dangerous bill that would disenfranchise millions of eligible voters.
The SAVE Act failed to pass last year because of nationwide public opposition. Now it’s back, and Congress should reject it again. Add your voice: bit.ly/4tmVIor
Caring about voting is about investing in modernizing election systems, protecting election workers, and expanding access so every eligible voter can participate.
Policies designed to scare people away from it are an attack on all of us. Tell your Rep to vote NO on SAVE Act. #StopSAVE2.0
The SAVE Act could block 69 MILLION women from voting.
The bill would require people to show a birth certificate or passport to register to vote.
This would threaten the vote of millions of women who changed their last name after marriage.
This is a voter suppression bill.
