Impeach Kash Patel and End the Attack on the Southern Poverty Law Center

To: Sen. Hagerty, Sen. Blackburn, Rep. Kustoff

From: A constituent in Brownsville, TN

April 22

I'm calling on you to support the immediate impeachment of Kash Patel and to publicly condemn the racist attack on the Southern Poverty Law Center. The SPLC has spent decades tracking hate groups and defending civil rights. This attack is designed to silence one of the most effective organizations fighting white supremacy and extremism in America. Targeting the SPLC isn't about accountability or oversight. It's about protecting the very hate groups they expose. Kash Patel has abused his position to weaponize federal power against organizations that defend marginalized communities. This is a direct assault on civil rights work and on the safety of communities targeted by hate groups. His actions warrant removal from office. I expect you to take a clear stand. Co-sponsor articles of impeachment against Patel and issue a public statement defending the SPLC's critical work. Silence on this issue is complicity.
