Extremist Proud Boys Pardoned for Jan. 6 Insurrection
This week, the Trump administration issued 1,500 pardons and commuted sentences for Jan. 6 insurrectionists, including leaders of extremist organizations including the Proud Boys. The ADL Center on Extremism is closely tracking this violent, antisemitic group. Below is an excerpt from ADL’s backgrounder on their motivations and activities.
The Proud Boys are a right-wing extremist group whose members embrace misogynistic, anti-immigrant, Islamophobic and anti-LGBTQ+ ideologies, among other forms of hate, including antisemitism and white supremacy. The group rose to prominence as an organization of self-described "Western chauvinists” and established itself as a dominant force in far-right circles. At events and protests, the Proud Boys became easily recognizable due to their black and yellow clothing, a makeshift uniform some continue to wear to this day.
The group has actively pursued violence and intimidation as part of its agenda against “antifa” and other perceived enemies. The Proud Boys played an integral role in the January 6 insurrection. Proud Boys account for the highest number of extremist arrestees, with at least 58 members and chapter affiliates across the country apprehended to date.

Wikipedia Disciplines Biased Editors:
We welcome the disciplinary action taken against multiple editors by the Wikipedia arbitration committee in the wake of a massive effort by anti-Israel editors to spread misinformation and hate across the platform. Among those banned by Wikipedia from the Israel-Palestine discussion were several editors that ADL has identified as being part of a bad-faith campaign in an attempt to undermine the credibility of ADL. It is imperative for Wikipedia to begin work immediately to undo the harm caused by these rogue editors who have harmed potentially hundreds of entries about Israel, the Oct. 7 massacre, Zionism and topics relating to antisemitism.

LIVE EVENT: Connecting Stories and Legacies: Join renowned children’s book author Gordon Korman and Rachelle Goldstein
of the Hidden Child Foundation for an online event on Feb. 11 (6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT) as these special guests delve into the role of storytelling in understanding antisemitism — past and present. Korman will read from Linked, his middle-grade (ages 8–12) novel. Linked follows the story of a middle school rocked by the appearance of swastikas — and the students’ effort to turn division into unity through a school project. Goldstein, a hidden child during the Holocaust, will share excerpts from the narratives of the youngest Holocaust survivors, bringing to light the resilience found in their stories.
Register Now for this lively and inspiring conversation.
Stopping Antisemitic Bullying:
As Jewish students move through the hallways of our K-12 schools, antisemitic bullying shows up in a variety of ways: from writing a swastika on a Jewish student’s notebook to spewing insults by blaming Jewish students for the war in Gaza to pulling off a Jewish student’s kippah and more. ADL’s Education team is here to help with tactics for educators, youth programs and others who work with young people so we can address and reduce antisemitic bullying. Read ADL’s strategies to stop antisemitic bullying.
