    In 3 successive votes, @splcenter staff used the tools of workplace democracy to express their lack of faith in SPLC leadership. Each time, they gave Margaret Huang and SPLC management a failing grade. That is why we are now calling for the Board to remove Margaret Huang as CEO.

    Today, @splcenter - an organization with nearly a billion dollars in reserves, given an F rating by CharityWatch for “hoarding” donations - gutted its staff by a quarter.

    In a momentous move, staff @splcenter — a historic Civil Rights organization advancing social justice through legal, educational and advocacy work primarily in the Deep South — are forming a union. #UnionizeTheDeepSouth

    After over a year and a half of bargaining, we are proud to announce that we have reached a tentative agreement with management on our first ever collective bargaining agreement!! 🎉🎉

    We won! The NLRB has completed the ballot count! We are pleased to announce that a majority of staff (142-45) voted IN FAVOR of representation by @WBNG32035. #splcunion #unionizethedeepsouth #organizethedeepsouth #unionstrong #1u

    A supermajority of @splcenter staff signed union authorization cards and filed an election petition with the NLRB. We asked leadership to voluntarily recognize #splcunion. Instead, they hired a "union avoidance" law firm. [THREAD]

    CEO and President Margaret Huang announced that the cuts would allow greater “focus” on racial justice, but failed to explain how eliminating immigrant justice work and anti-racist education work served that goal.

    SPLC’s decision has a catastrophic impact on the organization’s work in support of immigrants seeking justice and its mission to dismantle white supremacy, strengthen intersectional movements and advance human rights through support of educators.

    More than 60 SPLC Union members, including five Union stewards and our Union Chair, were informed that they would be losing their jobs. We are devastated for our Union and for our colleagues.

    The layoffs of all 16 staff in the Southern Immigrant Freedom Initiative and its office closure will decimate free legal representation to detained immigrants across Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi.

    Functionally eliminating the Learning for Justice department leaves educators, students, and caregivers without resources and support in building curricula and orienting classrooms toward justice work.

    Make no mistake - laying off dozens of employees, many of whom were Union activists, less than a year before we will bargain our second contract was no coincidence.

    With nearly a billion dollar endowment and Huang earning $500,000 per year, how does abandoning SPLC’s commitments help advance the human rights of all people? Are these the actions of an organization fighting for racial justice in the deep South?

    The dismantling of the full Immigrant Justice team ends SPLC’s decade-long commitment to the rights of migrant workers and the deep coalition work to advocate for immigrants’ rights and decriminalize migration across the Southeast.
