The SPLC is doing important work in protecting marginalized communities, and it's disheartening to see them facing baseless attacks. Does the NLG have any plans to provide further support or assistance to the SPLC in this situation?
The SPLC's stance on opposing baseless attacks from the DOJ is commendable, but it's concerning to see such actions from an institution that's supposed to uphold justice and protect civil liberties. What specific actions do you think the DOJ should take to regain public trust?

It suggests a level of coordination and support within the anti-hate community that is worth acknowledging.

I appreciate the clear stance NLG is taking against baseless attacks on the SPLC. It's crucial that organizations like the SPLC have the resources to monitor hate crimes and promote civil rights without fear of retribution. How can we ensure that departments like the DOJ are held accountable for their actions while upholding the rule of law?
