The mission of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is “To stop the defamation of the Jewish people, and to secure justice and fair treatment to all.” The nonprofit organization, which has an international reach, is headquartered in New York City. Its current National Director and CEO is Jonathan Greenblatt (pictured).
Quote: “We think every state should have hate crimes laws. It’s worth sharing that five states today don’t have hate crimes laws, including South Carolina, where a man was arraigned. He had been arrested by the FBI for plotting a Columbine-style attack on a synagogue in Myrtle Beach.” — Jonathan Greenblatt
