Dear John,
COVID-19 has significantly disrupted the health and welfare of people in cities across the country, and while the scale of the crisis is unprecedented, so is the scope and leadership of the local government responses. Please join us this Thursday, May 21 at 1 PM ET/10 AM PT for a conversation with Mayor Andy Berke of Chattanooga and Mayor Greg Fischer of Louisville about the challenges that cities and their residents face.
At the local level, the dire consequences of the pandemic are being felt every day in so many communities, and mayors are on the front lines for their residents. We are bringing you the insights of civic leaders who are helping their cities through innovation and compassion.
The mayors will discuss which cities are most vulnerable to the pandemic based on their economic, social and health strengths; the potential impact we may all feel with an expected one million public sector employees facing layoffs amid crippled local budgets; and how cities with deep experience in combatting the outbreak can help others eager to get ahead of the virus’ spread.
During this Fighting Hate from Home webinar, these mayors will discuss the extraordinary efforts they are making to protect their residents from the effects of COVID-19 and promote kindness and solidarity in their communities.

Last Week’s Webinar
ADL’s CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt talked with colleagues Oren Segal, Allison Padilla-Goodman and Deb Leipzig to discuss the findings from our 2019 Audit of Antisemitic Incidents,
which revealed that the number of incidents, ranging from antisemitic bullying in K-12 classrooms to the murderous attacks in Poway, Jersey City and Monsey, were up across the board. Our experts also looked at how the COVID crisis and other societal factors continue to increase tensions and provide fuel for further incidents. They talked about ways that you can help fight back against extremism and hate, and how ADL is working on the ground to both head off incidents and to support communities in the wake of them.
To watch and share the webinar, go to our Fighting Hate from Home playlist on YouTube. You can watch each webinar in the growing series there.

Please join us for this timely webinar with these leaders who will share insights into responses and resilience, and we encourage you to forward this email to your friends to join the ADL community on this webinar.
