Our office was proud to join the @PA_HumRelComm for their "No Hate In Our State Town Hall" last night. After antisemitic and racist graffiti was found at Roxborough High, we came together in unity alongside elected officials Councilmember Curtis Jones, Jr. and @RepTarik, and…

ADL's Rachel Greenberg recently traveled to Poland where she found herself standing on her family's unmarked graves — sacred sites demolished, history unacknowledged. 80+ years after the Shoah, antisemitism has moved from the margins to the mainstream. That's why Holocaust…

Today in Philadelphia, a rally was held that glorified terrorism, called for violence, and featured antisemitic rhetoric. We’ve released a joint statement alongside our colleagues at @JFedinPhilly and @AJCGlobal Philadelphia. Read it here: jewishphilly.org/statement-phil…

This weekend, the largest synagogue in Mississippi was targeted in an arson attack. This isn't an isolated incident. It's part of a surge in antisemitic violence. Hundreds of houses of worship need protection and aren't getting it. Tell your Members of Congress to increase…

Recent local incidents are pointing to a larger problem. As senior regional director @AndrewGoretsky says in @thephilacitizen, "antisemitism is too often overlooked, or worse, enabled in spaces explicitly designed to combat bias and promote belonging." Read his thoughts here:…

After a horrific weekend for Jewish people around the world, senior regional director @AndrewGoretsky writes about how to stand up courageously and in unity (via @PhillyInquirer) inquirer.com/opinion/commen…

ADL Philadelphia, @AJCGlobal Philadelphia/Southern NJ, and @JFedinPhilly share the EEOC’s commitment to combating antisemitism and protecting Jewish employees from discrimination and harassment on college campuses and we appreciate that the EEOC has undertaken a number of…

We're heartened that a Maryland man who sent threatening mail to Jewish institutions — including here in Philadelphia — has pled guilty. We've been in touch with the local community affected, and we hope this brings closure to them. We thank law enforcement for their hard work in…

The pink triangle was used by the Nazis to label gay men during the Holocaust—a genocide rooted in antisemitism that also targeted LGBTQ+ people, Roma, people with disabilities, and others. Today, that same symbol has become a powerful emblem of Pride and resilience. This LGBTQ+…

This is what leadership looks like. When hate tries to spread, we need leaders who speak out clearly and decisively. Thank you to Mayor Jack Ritter and the Mechanicsburg Borough Council for taking a firm stand against the distribution of hate-based literature and for reaffirming…

Paul Ingrassia’s self-described 'Nazi streak' is both shocking and dangerous. It is deeply troubling that someone who has supported promoters of antisemitic conspiracy theories, used them himself, and downplayed Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel could occupy a senior government…

.@ADL alerted law enforcement in July about an unidentified user in Colorado who had posted content that emulated mass shooters, celebrated graphic violence and promoted white supremacy. Tragically, that user went on to carry out the recent shooting at Evergreen High School.…

Hope is a powerful thing. Senior regional director @AndrewGoretsky reflects on his summer travels in Croatia and the resiliency of the Jewish people (via @jewishexponent) Wishing everyone Shana Tova - a good year. #RoshHashanah #reflections jewishexponent.com/opinion-findin…

4 U.S. school shooters in the last 9 months were active on the violent gore site "WatchPeopleDie" before their attacks. ADL's @orensegal said, "There is something connecting them, and it is these horrible online spaces. So even though the tragedy is unique every single time, we…

In the latest problematic ICE recruitment post from the X account of the Department of Homeland Security, the phrase “Which way, American man” accompanies an image of Uncle Sam at a crossroads, with road signs pointing in one direction to “cultural decay” and “invasion” and in…

Hey, educators and parents/caregivers! Join us and reps from @TikTok to unpack safety features and learn how to talk to the young people in your lives about creating respectful online spaces. See you on 7/29 at 1p ET!

We are deeply alarmed by reports and videos from Syria’s As-Suwayda region of brutal violence targeting members of the Druze community — including beatings, humiliation, and executions – reportedly carried out by groups affiliated with the Syrian government. Efforts to repress…

Loved on @sesamestreet and beyond, Elmo has warmed the hearts of millions with his innocence and inquisitive nature. It’s appalling that his official X account, known for spreading kindness, was hacked yesterday solely to spread violent antisemitism. Antisemitism on social media…

“When bigotry goes unchecked, it metastasizes. Today it’s antisemitism. Tomorrow it’s transphobia. Next week it’s anti-black racism or Islamophobia. We don’t get to cherry-pick which forms of hate are politically palatable to denounce. We fight them all — or we fail our…
