(SPLC).
The SPLC is an American nonprofit legal advocacy organization specializing in civil rights and public interest litigation. The SPLC defines a ''hate group'' as "an organization that — based on its official statements or principles, the statements of its leaders, or its activities — has beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for their immutable characteristic."
The SPLC states that "Hate group activities can include criminal acts, marches, rallies, speeches, meetings, leafleting or publishing" and adds that inclusion on its hate-group list "does not imply that a group advocates or engages in violence or other criminal activity."
Since 1981, the SPLC's Intelligence Project has published a quarterly ''
Intelligence Report'', which monitors hate groups and extremist organizations in the United States.
The SPLC began an annual census of hate groups in 1990, releasing this census as part of its annual ''Year in Hate & Extremism'' report.

', Southern Poverty Law Center (2022). The SPLC listed 1,020 hate groups and hate-group chapters on its 2018 list—an all-time high fueled primarily by an increase in radical right groups. The number of SPLC-designated active hate groups and hate-group chapters subsequently declined to 838 in 2020, and 733 in 2021.[N'dea Yancey-Bragg]
Hate groups declined in 2021, but fringe ideology is a 'powerful force' shaping US politics, SPLC warns
''USA TODAY'' (March 9, 2022). The SPLC welcomed the criminal prosecutions of some of the perpetrators of the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol

, but expressed alarm at the movement of ideas from the antidemocratic hard right into mainstream political discourse, writing: "The reactionary and racist beliefs that propelled a mob into the Capitol that day have not dissipated. Instead, they've coalesced into a political movement that is now one of the most powerful forces shaping politics in the United States."[
The ''Intelligence Report'' provides information regarding the organizational efforts and tactics of these groups, and it is cited by a number of scholars as a reliable and comprehensive source on U.S. hate groups.][Rory McVeigh.
