BOMBSHELL congressional hearing confirms everything we’ve been saying about the SPLC 

This week, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee held hearings on the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). As you may already know, in April, a Federal Grand Jury indicted the “hate map” group on 11 felony counts, including wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering.

On Wednesday, members of Congress heard the shocking testimony. It turns out the SPLC is just as bad as we said they are, perhaps even worse.

Despite the indictment and the congressional hearing, the SPLC is still trying to use lawfare to tie up our attorneys so we cannot defend Christian rights. We have requested the court issue sanctions against the SPLC. But we need your help to keep fighting!

Stand with us today. Help defeat the SPLC’s attack and DOUBLE your gift with our Challenge Grant.

Evidence indicates the group paid KKK and neo-Nazi members and groups, even helped organize their activities, then fundraised off the “hate” they had manufactured.

Meanwhile, the SPLC targeted Liberty Counsel, our client Moms for Liberty, the Family Research Council, and more, declaring our organizations to be “hate” mongers, then leveraging government and corporate connections to marginalize groups like ours through debanking, censorship, and more.

For more than a decade, Liberty Counsel has battled a frivolous, malicious lawsuit driven by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and its client, Janet Jenkins — who demanded Liberty Counsel pay her a ridiculous 200 BILLION, in a case built on claims the federal judge ruled were completely meritless.

But the SPLC is refusing to accept defeat.

This is no longer just a lawsuit. It is an attempted annihilation of our ministry.

Your gift right now goes TWICE as far with our Challenge Grant.

Despite the full record, the judge’s findings ruling in our favor on every point, and the complete lack of evidence, the SPLC has filed a deceptive appeal, submitting a brief that misrepresents the facts and ignores the evidence in the case.

Their intent is crystal clear: to destroy Liberty Counsel and bury us in endless litigation.

Our legal team filed a 75-page Opposition Brief — and in it, we are formally requesting sanctions for the SPLC’s misconduct.

We urgently need your help.

The SPLC sits on a massive endowment and is using its resources to drag this out, force monumental legal costs, and exhaust the time we should be using to defend religious freedom, life, and the family.

But thanks to a special Challenge Grant, your gift today will be DOUBLED to help defeat the SPLC's attack.

Why your support today matters

• We have already invested 11,000 hours, 25 depositions, and 186,000+ pages of evidence defending the truth.
• The federal court ruled fully in our favor — yet the SPLC appealed anyway.
• Preparing for this appeal and the upcoming oral arguments will require hundreds more hours of legal work.
• The SPLC has publicly declared its goal is to “destroy” groups like ours.

They have money.
They have influence.
They have no intention of stopping.

But we have the truth — and we have you.

Stand with us today. Help defeat the SPLC’s attack and DOUBLE YOUR GIFT TODAY with our Challenge Grant.

Your immediate support strengthens our legal defense fund and ensures we can continue fighting for:

• Religious liberty.
• The sanctity of human life.
• The family.
• The rights of Christians across America.

The SPLC’s appeal has no factual or legal basis, but it demands real resources to defeat. We cannot — and will not — fight this battle alone.

Thank you for your steadfast support and your commitment to truth.
