The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is a leading non-profit legal advocacy organization dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry and promoting civil rights. We leverage legal action, policy advocacy, and public education to combat systemic injustice and empower marginalized communities. Our work centers on issues such as voter suppression, hate crimes, and the rise of extremism, with a particular focus on the Southeastern United States. We're a data-driven organization, using research and analysis to inform our strategies and measure impact. Our technology stack includes a blend of cloud-based services (Amazon, Cloudflare CDN, jsDelivr) and open-source tools (Google Font API, Font Awesome), reflecting our commitment to efficient and effective operations. We employ modern web development practices and are always looking for ways to improve our digital presence. While our headquarters are in Montgomery, Alabama, our work extends across multiple states, and we offer flexible work arrangements including remote and hybrid options, fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment. The SPLC is driven by a commitment to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI). We believe that everyone deserves equal rights and opportunities, regardless of their background or identity. We strive to create a workplace where every voice is heard and valued. Our team is comprised of passionate individuals who are dedicated to creating lasting positive change in our communities. We're a substantial organization with over 250 employees and a significant annual budget, constantly striving to deepen our impact and expand our reach. With a history spanning over five decades, the SPLC has achieved numerous milestones in the fight for civil rights. We've secured landmark legal victories, educated millions about the dangers of hate, and inspired countless people to join the movement for social justice. We continue to grow and adapt to the ever-changing landscape of social and political issues. We're actively seeking talented and dedicated individuals to join us in this important work.
