Dear John,

The numbers alone may shock you.

Last year, ADL reported on 139 antisemitic assaults in our annual Audit of Antisemitic Incidents. That’s up 26% from the previous year.

In all, antisemitic acts across the country were up 36% — with an average of 10 a day — the highest ADL has ever recorded.

John, behind these numbers are real people — people just like you and me — who are the innocent victims of hateful venom. I’m hoping you’ll make your first gift to fight this growing threat.

Make your first gift to fight antisemitism and hate in our communities.

Tragically, all too often antisemitism and hate turn violent, even deadly.

Many extremists involved in antisemitic violence are motivated and pushed over the edge by conspiracies and antisemitic tropes they see online.

Even worse, extremism and hate which in the past would have been relegated to the fringes of society have reached unprecedented mainstream audiences on social media and in the irresponsible messaging of influencers and politicians. And this has led to vilification, harassment and sometimes even violence aimed at real people just because of who they are, how they worship, what they believe or who they love.

That’s why we urgently need your support today to turn the tide on hate.

With the help of people like you, we successfully called on the White House to create the historic U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism that incorporates more than 30 policy recommendations from ADL.

In line with this national strategy, your gift today will help ADL work to disrupt antisemitism and hate wherever they are spreading and ensure the safety of our families, friends and way of life.

Please make your best gift possible now.

Sincerely,

Frederic L. Bloch

Chief Growth Officer
