On Tuesday, the Southern Poverty Law Center announced plans to distribute the first-round grants to voting rights organizations across the Southern United States.

Twelve organizations across five states — including the New Georgia Project, ProGeorgia, and the Georgia Coalition for the People’s Agenda — will receive $5.5 million in total.

This funding is part of a $30 million voter initiative the organization announced earlier this year.
