WHY ADL AND WHY NOW? 

HOW ADL IS MEETING THIS CHALLENGING MOMENT 

ADL was already measuring high levels of antisemitic incidents in the United States and around the world on October 6, 2023. After the barbaric and horrific murders, kidnappings, and torture by Hamas terrorists and their allies on October 7, antisemitic incidents skyrocketed on campuses and in communities throughout the Mountain States Region and the country.

Learn how ADL works with everyone from the White House, Congress, and the FBI to Governors, local law enforcement, and university presidents to counter antisemitism. You will also learn how ADL empowers community members, parents and students to respond to antisemitism and incidents of hate.
