COVID-19 Response
As America responds to the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, we here at ADL are actively mobilized and continuing our important work of “Fighting Hate for Good.” While recognizing we live in uncertain and unpredictable times, we also realize our vital mission to “stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all” continues, and remains just as important now as it did a week, a month, or a year ago.
For live updates on our work, visit our Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn feeds.
