Regional Focus, National Impact
The Southern Poverty Law Center began in 1971 in a small office in Montgomery, Alabama. Today, we work across the Deep South, focusing on a region where victories for social justice can lead to transformational change throughout the country.
Beyond our headquarters in Montgomery, we now have state offices in Atlanta, Georgia; New Orleans, Louisiana; Jackson, Mississippi; and Miami, Florida. This network of offices enables the SPLC to create people-centered programmatic work, while also developing broader strategies to tackle systemic challenges from a regional perspective. Additionally, our office in Washington, D.C. advocates on behalf of our communities at the highest level of government, where legislators have the power to implement long-term, comprehensive solutions.
By transforming the Deep South, we can lead the way for the rest of the country. Join us in this pursuit.
