President Trump will be a keynote speaker at a hate group’s annual summit tomorrow. No president has ever done that. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017…
Trump is speaking to anti-LGBT and anti-Muslim activists — including members of hate groups — and this isn’t surprising.

In 1968, the first federal hate crimes law was passed to address the pattern of law enforcement often refusing to investigate or prosecute lynchings & race-based crimes.

50+ years later, here's how hate crime laws have expanded:

The law made it a federal crime to forcefully injure, intimidate or interfere with someone based on race, color, religion or national origin.

But only while they were participating in the six federally protected activities, like voting or attending school. #HCAM

Over 50 years later, both federal and state-level hate crimes laws have expanded exponentially.

One way ⬇️

By removing the federally protected activities requirement and accounting for attacks based on gender, sexual orientation or disability. #StopHate #HCAM

📢 On Wednesday, SPLC and other voting rights advocates participated in a roundtable commemorating 10 years since the disastrous Shelby v. Holder decision that gutted the Voting Rights Act.
In discussing the recent decision in Merrill v. Milligan and the process of drawing new maps to ensure the Black community in Alabama is adequately represented in Congress, Jerome Dees, Alabama policy director for SPLC, had this to say:
“We want governing bodies—of all kinds & at every level—that reflect the geographic, racial, economic diversity of our communities. Only then can we get closer to a truly reflective, representative democracy,” said Jerome Dees, Alabama policy director for SPLC.

Law enforcement detained at least 35 demonstrators in Atlanta on Sunday, including an SPLC employee who was arrested while acting — and identifying — as a legal observer on behalf of @NLGnews #StopCopCity
This is part of a months-long escalation of policing tactics against protesters and observers who oppose the destruction of the Weelaunee Forest to build a police training facility. #STOPCopCity
The SPLC will continue to urge de-escalation of violence and police use of force against Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities — working in partnership to dismantle white supremacy, strengthen intersectional movements and advance the human rights of all people. #STOPCopCity

🧵THREAD: Despite inconsistent data reporting, the @FBI's Hate Crime Statistics Act has been the most comprehensive snapshot of hate violence in the U.S. for 30 years.

But that changed this year –– We should have no confidence in the 2021 data submitted. ImageImage
1️⃣ The data is drastically incomplete.

There were 3,300 fewer participating agencies than in 2020, including @nycgov, @LACity, @chicago, @CityofPhoenixAZ, and dozens of other large cities.

Also, essentially, the entire states of Florida and California. Image
2️⃣We recognize the continued trends of reported race-based crimes, especially targeting Blacks - which are most numerous - and increased reports of crimes against the AAPI, Sikhs and LGBTQ+ communities.

But comparing this unreliable data to previous years would be wrong. Image

📽️LIVE: SPLC President & CEO @MargaretlHuang testifies on the rise in violence against #HBCUs.

HBCUs are central to Black scholarship and the inclusion of Black voices in American dialogue.

We condemn the targeted violence and support the HBCU community. splcenter.org/news/2022/02/1…
Educational institutions, houses of worship & other community institutions have historically been safe spaces for all people – sanctuaries for communities to gather, share, learn, fellowship, and build a support network.

This is particularly true for communities of color.
The bomb threats against almost two dozen #HBCUs over the past two weeks have been deeply impactful, shaking a sense of security & safety.

Coinciding with the start of #BlackHistoryMonth, it's also reminiscent of the U.S's history of white supremacist attacks on Black churches.

Today, a jury acquitted Kyle Rittenhouse for the murders of Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum and the attempted murder of Gaige Grosskreutz.

SPLC President and CEO @MargaretLHuang issued the following in response to the lack of justice: splcenter.org/presscenter/so…
“Our hearts are with the victims in this case – the individuals killed & wounded by Kyle Rittenhouse as well as the families & community torn apart by the consequences of this deadly violence.
The acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse will add fuel to the fire of armed radicalization in America.
