new release: online gaming leaderboard

‌ 
Is your child safe while gaming online?

ADL just released the Online Gaming Leaderboard, the first comprehensive public evaluation of how leading video game companies address antisemitism, hate and extremism in online multiplayer games. With hundreds of millions of players connecting daily, parents have had no publicly available resource to evaluate safety measures within the games their children play — until now.

ADL's scorecard assesses 10 of the most popular gaming titles on their policies and in-game safety features. While ESRB Ratings provide age and content guidance, they don't tell you what companies are actually doing to protect your child from hate and harassment online. Now, the ADL Online Gaming Leaderboard does.

This ongoing resource will continue to track how gaming companies manage their online multiplayer ecosystems over time. ADL also released a best practices guide with actionable strategies for gaming companies to strengthen player safety.

Take action today and tell Congress to create a commission on hate in online games.

adl's 2026 campus report card

ADL

‌ 
Class is in session — and universities in the D.C. region have been doing their homework.

The 2026 ADL Campus Antisemitism Report Card is delivering a powerful message: change is possible, and universities are rising to the challenge. ADL's Campus Antisemitism Report Card 3.0 assessed 150 colleges and universities across 32 criteria spanning three key categories:
  • Publicly Disclosed Administrative Actions
  • Jewish Life on Campus
  • Campus Conduct and Climate Concerns
3 campuses in our region have earned the coveted A grade - American University, Elon University and Johns Hopkins University. This remarkable momentum reflects a growing number of institutions stepping up, strengthening their policies, enhancing accountability and working directly with ADL to create safer, more welcoming campuses for Jewish students. What did your school score?
