Did you know that JFK spoke at ADL’s 50th anniversary dinner in January 1963? “Here we have planted freedom,” he said. This powerful appreciation of our democracy is worth remembering as we honor his memory, 61 years after his death. https://t.co/U0ZY7v3vzi

Archivists are combing through 13,000+ boxes of ADL material from 1913-2000. Much of it shows how hate groups have employed the same ideas over 100 years, even as the technology for dissemination has changed. More about the ADL Archives Project with AJHS: https://t.co/QaM13kWbqp

Very sorry to learn of the demise of @wcbs880; it is a real gut punch. I've been a regular listener for decades. The on-air team is the best in the business & I wish them all well. Huge loss for NY.

We've filed an amicus brief in the NetChoice cases being heard before the Supreme Court. We urge SCOTUS to strike down FL & TX social media laws restricting tech companies from effectively moderating hate, harassment & extremism on their platforms. More: https://t.co/HLtfKwBVWS

Thank you, @SenSchumer, for speaking forcefully in Congress and in @nytopinion about the fear Jews are experiencing today, and the need for all Americans to denounce antisemitism in all of its forms so that our nation can defy the course of human history. https://t.co/03cUztTx2o

[Jonathan Greenblatt @JGreenblattADL]

A must-read by @BerkeleyLaw Dean Chemerinsky on the abhorrent tolerance for antisemitism on campuses. "Deans, presidents & chancellors — have free speech rights too. They must exercise them & take a stand even if it will offend some & subject them to criticism." https://t.co/Ns5X178E9M

#OTD in 2002, the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge was dedicated in #Boston. @ADL proudly honors the memory of Lenny Zakim z"l, former ADL New England regional director, whose inspired leadership for two decades helped build bridges among communities in Boston.

Tomorrow at 12pm ET, we’re discussing the takeaways from this term’s #SCOTUS rulings with leading legal scholars. We’ll talk about affirmative action, religious accommodation, social media regulation, voting rights, and more. Tune in ➡️ https://t.co/eyxdoLIas1

[ADL @ADL]

The #303Creative #SCOTUS decision allowing some businesses to refuse service to LGBTQ+ people empowers discrimination against all people, including the Jewish community. ADL was founded to fight such discrimination & we’ll keep doing just that. More here: https://t.co/46e90NKNwq

ADL Statement on Supreme Court decision in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College: https://t.co/Munx2Mqfwu

[ADL @ADL]

#OTD 8 years ago, #SCOTUS recognized marriage rights for same-sex couples & it was codified into law this year when @POTUS signed the Respect for Marriage Act. Yet the fight to protect LGBTQ+ people from discrimination continues — we must pass legislation like the #EqualityAct.

[ADL @ADL]

We are honored to co-chair the 60th Anniversary #MarchOnWashington on Aug. 26 alongside Dr. Martin Luther King’s family and civil rights leaders. We will march to fight hate and to secure justice & fair treatment for all, and we hope you join us.

Congratulations to @NAACP_LDF, @ACLUAlabama & @HoganLovells on this historic victory! Allen v. Milligan reaffirms key protections in the #VotingRightsAct for voters & Black communities across the country at a time when the right to vote is under attack.

[ADL @ADL]

Today, the @WhiteHouse took a historic step by releasing the first-ever comprehensive National Strategy to Counter #Antisemitism. We applaud the @POTUS administration, and we are excited to continue to collaborate in the execution of this plan: https://t.co/InJlr00lJR

[ADL @ADL]

This new @USEdGov Guidance on Religious Expression in Public Schools is important and timely. We applaud @SecCardona for recognizing that schools must be inclusive environments where students cannot be coerced to pray.

[ADL @ADL]

We were honored to attend the #SummitForReligiousFreedom to discuss our understanding of Christian Nationalism and how it affects democracy in the US. ADL's Karen Levit moderated and was joined by ADL's Marilyn Mayo alongside other extremism and religion experts. #SRF2023

[Steve Freeman @smfys]

It was a privilege to work with @mliebermandc on this issue & to share with him the proud moment when the unanimous #Scotus decision validating #HateCrime laws was issued 30 yrs ago this June. Very timely piece & good recommendations on the anniversary of the oral argument.

[Steve Freeman @smfys]

Thanks, @VKhaykin! It was a privilege to be invited to deliver a keynote at this year’s #LawVsAntisemitism conference and to contribute to the important work @ADL is doing with those in attendance.

[V. Judah Khaykin @VKhaykin]

Pleased to join friends, colleagues, and collaborators at the #LawVsAntisemitism conference at @lewisandclark. Inspired by Steve Freeman, @ADL’s Nat’l Counsel for Civil Rights, as he reflects on his decades of pioneering work and the changing landscape of Hate Crime law.

[ADL @ADL]

We filed an amicus brief with #SCOTUS on the Anti-Terrorism Act, arguing against an overly narrow interpretation of the ATA that would prevent victims of terror from seeking any redress from social media companies that aid and abet terrorism. Read more: https://t.co/63L3zkBQ8t
