Dear John,

Today is Giving Tuesday, a global day of giving when people support the causes that matter the most to them. But today is different than most Giving Tuesdays. Because people are truly frightened. They are worried in ways that we don’t normally see in our community.

They are concerned because the hate sparked by Hamas’ terrorism in October has spread in our country to the point where people I know are wondering if they should remove the mezuzah from their door since it shows that Jews live there. And they aren’t sure about how safe their children and their grandchildren are when these students express support for Israel at the schools they attend.

That’s why we need your support today. And why a group of longtime ADL supporters has agreed to match any gift you make, up to $125,000. Because we all need to pull together to fight antisemitism now more than ever.

Make your first gift before midnight and it will go 2X as far in the fight against all forms of hate.

John, your first gift DOUBLES in value to help keep our communities safe. So don’t wait. Give early and give as generously as possible.

The world has grown increasingly dangerous. Antisemites, white supremacists and other hatemongers are taking advantage of the crisis ignited by terrorists in Israel to spread discord and fear whenever and wherever they can.

Online antisemitism, hate and misinformation continue to spread on social media without full accountability. And you know online hate doesn’t stay online.

At this dangerous time for Jews everywhere and with heightened concern about antisemitic incidents in the U.S., ADL’s team is working around the clock. As hate and intolerance continue to rise, we must fight harder than ever to ensure that compassion, dignity and equality can always win over these terrible evils that plague our society.

With you by our side, we’ve made incredible progress — but there is so much more to be done and now is the time to do it.

Make your first gift before midnight to fight back twice as hard.

Show the antisemites and extremists that you won’t let them win.

With deepest gratitude,

Frederic L. Bloch
