   The Southern Poverty Law Center has created a list of its   
   adversaries which it calls “hate groups.” This list includes   
   champions of marriage and the family, including our name and   
   those of some of our UN pro-life and pro-family coalition   
   members.   
      
   Unfortunately, this false moniker has been wielded by those who   
   oppose the natural family and marriage to scare government   
   officials away from working with us and deter those who would   
   support our work from funding us and others.   
      
   The real purpose of this list is to silence opponents, to   
   isolate them. It is a kind of weaponized political correctness.   
   It is also about raising money for the Southern Poverty Law   
   Center, which has more than $300 million dollars in the bank and   
   rakes in more than $50 million every year.   
      
   The SPLC and its allies are getting away with this scare tactic   
   in part because they hide behind the perception that they are a   
   human rights organization that champions fairness and American   
   values.   
      
   This is false.   
      
   C-Fam’s core mission is truth telling, and we believe that the   
   truth about SPLC should be known so that people of good faith   
   can make up their own mind about SPLC scare tactics and put an   
   end to them.   
      
   The good news is that many are waking up to the Southern Poverty   
   Law Center. The FBI used to partner with them in identifying   
   hate groups. They no longer do. The Army used to have them   
   lecture on domestic terrorism. The Army has ended that   
   relationship.   
      
   Below you will find a powerful video exposing the Southern   
   Poverty Law Center and their stated goal of destroying their   
   political opponents. You will also find many essays and articles   
   about this nefarious group, including articles from left-wing   
   groups who are also concerned about the tactics of the Southern   
   Poverty Law Center.   
      
   Charity Watchdog GuideStar Labels Christian Non-Profits as “Hate-   
   Groups”   
   Austin Ruse, Center for Family and Human Rights, 6 Jul 2017   
      
   “The non-profit law firm Liberty Counsel is suing the non-profit   
   monitoring group GuideStar in federal court for defamation. At   
   issue is GuideStar’s use of the “hate-list” published annually   
   by the Southern Poverty Law Center that in recent years has   
   targeted Christian groups it disagrees with on public policy.”   
      
   NGO financial monitor GuideStar may resume using Southern   
   Poverty Law Center’s ‘hate-group’ label   
   Fox News, 28 Jun 2017   
      
   “Some Christian groups complained that they were pegged as “hate   
   groups” by SPLC because they oppose same-sex marriage. They   
   argued that it wrong to lump them in the same category as, for   
   instance, the Ku Klux Klan and skinheads.”

   Scott Walter, The Capital Research Center, 26 Jun 2017   
      
   “The SPLC is a radical group that uses its infamous ‘hate   
   groups’ list to lump together genuine racists like the KKK with   
   mainstream conservative groups.”   
      
   After conservative backlash, charity tracker GuideStar removes   
   ‘hate group’ labels   
   Susan Hogan, The Washington Post, 26 Jun 2017   
      
   “But some conservative organizations complained that the   
   center’s lumping them together with violent racist groups wasn’t   
   based on objective research but on a political agenda.

   “A website that maintains a massive database of information   
   about U.S. charities said Friday that it will remove warning   
   labels flagging dozens of nonprofits as hate groups after   
   threats directed at its staff.”

   Nonprofit Tracker Smears Dozens of Conservative Organizations as   
   ‘Hate Groups’   
   Rachel del Guidice, The Daily Signal, 21 Jun 2017   
      
   “GuideStar, which calls itself a “neutral” aggregator of tax   
   data on charities, recently incorporated “hate group” labels   
   produced by the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center.”   
      
   Charity website flags dozens of nonprofits as hate groups
