Showcasing Nathanael and Christine's Choice - Southern Poverty Law Center

I helped Nathanael and Christine purchase their first home in Bellevue. They wanted something close to work with lots of space for their furry babies to run. When I asked them which charity they would like me to support, they chose Southern Poverty Law Center. It has roots dating back to the Civil Rights Movement.
Southern Poverty Law Center is an anti-hate legal advocacy and litigating organization which tracks (and sues) hate groups and promotes tolerance, principally in the south but also across the country. There are several areas of focus including communities of racial backgrounds, LBGTQ groups, immigrants, economic justice, voting rights, and criminal justice reform. They also work to protect the rights of children so that they can receive quality education and mental health services that they need. Notebly, they bring to light those in our government and society that hate and oppress others. The SPLC stands up for the powerless, the exploited and other victims of discrimination and hate. Their work to ensure that our country safeguards the promise of fair treatment, equality, and safety bring hope to so many in our country.
