At the Southern Poverty Law Center, we fight for racial justice in the courts, in our communities, and in the conversations we spark, the stories we amplify, and the voices we elevate.
Apathy Is Not An Option is a new podcast about voting rights, fighting hate and extremism, ending mass incarceration of Black and Brown people, and economic justice.
Hosted by Alex Beightol, a social media influencer committed to justice, this podcast delivers raw, unfiltered conversations with activists, thought leaders, and everyday people fighting for change in the South and beyond.
Now is the time. The movement is here. Be part of it.
