SPLC saw revenue surge after Charlottesville rally as DOJ alleges informant ties

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) saw a significant revenue surge after the 2017 Charlottesville 'Unite the Right' rally, which left one woman dead and sparked widespread condemnation. A Department of Justice indictment alleges the SPLC paid an informant tied to the event's organizers, including a source who coordinated logistics and racist content, while the group defends its actions as necessary to combat hate.
