Dear John,

In communities across the country, there’s been an alarming increase in antisemitism and hate.

In 2023, ADL tracked a total of 8,873 antisemitic incidents in the U.S. That’s an average of one antisemitic act every hour of the year.

Insults screamed at Jewish students on campus as they walk on campus or go to commencement ceremonies. Anti-Zionist anger seething in protest ‘encampments’ where some activists praise Hamas. Bomb threats disrupting services in synagogues. Assaults on visibly Jewish people in the streets and other antisemitic acts 24 hours a day, seven days a week for all 365 days of the year — which is why I’m writing you with such urgency.

To fight back against this surge of hate, a generous group of ADL donors has agreed to match all gifts up to $300,000, from now until May 31.

John, you can now have twice the impact with one gift.

I need friends like you to help unlock the full amount of this match before the May 31 deadline.

Make your first gift today so it will go 2X as far to:

• Monitor, expose and disrupt antisemitism and extremism.
• Provide programs and resources to schools, law enforcement and policymakers that effectively help Jewish communities feel empowered and safe.
• Equip young people, especially on college campuses, with the skills they need to speak out against anti-Jewish and anti-Zionist hate.
• Advocate to elected and government officials to secure justice for all.

John, you give me hope. Because I believe that kind, compassionate and concerned people like you far outnumber the antisemites, extremists, bigots and spreaders of hate.

Make your first gift now and it will go 2X as far to keep our communities safe.

Sincerely,

Frederic L. Bloch
