Dear John,
In the age of cellphones and ever-present social media, hate can reach our children anywhere.
When a Jewish teenager at a Florida high school opened her phone to a vile antisemitic message from two supposed friends, your support meant she was not alone.
The students had been away from school when they took and sent the photo of swastikas and pro-Nazi slogans. So parents and school administrators were torn on how to respond — or even if they should. But you and I know...
We must respond to every incident of antisemitic or hateful bullying in schools.
We all have a responsibility to no make sure NO incident of hate is ignored or tacitly condoned.
To do that, John, we need your help. And today your gift of $50, $75 or $100 doubles, thanks to a $75,000 limited-time dollar-for-dollar matching gift.
Hate continues to infiltrate our schools and homes through technology, and even more so now because for the majority of students, school is online rather than in a classroom. But when hate invades a child’s life, you’ll speak out through ADL to make sure their school and community are prepared to respond quickly and effectively.
Give now so your support can go twice as far in fighting the spread of antisemitism through ADL initiatives like our school education programs. When ADL traveled to this Florida school to educate not only administrators but the entire student body on the dangers of antisemitism and all forms of hate, we made a difference with your help.
Thanks to you, the victim felt safe, respected and empowered, and the whole community could begin to heal and guard against any future bias or hate.
I’m sure you agree, no other outcome could ever be acceptable. But success stories like these are possible only with your help. So please, rush your gift to ADL today when your support will go twice as far!
Fighting hate wherever it happens, |
