Since 2003, CREW has closely monitored government ethics, bringing egregious conduct to light and holding public officials accountable for their misconduct.

The SPLC legal department fights all forms of discrimination and works to protect society's most vulnerable members, handling innovative cases that few lawyers are willing to take.

(note: the top three states in numbers of hate groups are florida (49), south carolina (45), and georgia (44), and, according to the splc study, hawaii, north dakota, south dakota, and rhode island have none...)
