John, please join us on Feb. 17 at 2 pm ET / 11 am PT for an important edition of ADL’s Fighting Hate from Home webinar series that will kick off a Day of Action to push for the Senate to confirm Dr. Deborah Lipstadt as U.S. Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism, where she will be a powerful voice on the world stage in the fight against hate.

Today, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee finally held a hearing on her nomination, thanks in part to the urging of ADL and our supporters. If she is approved by the committee, the full Senate will then vote on Lipstadt.

During our Fighting Hate from Home webinar, ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt will talk with actor/activist Joshua Malina and Rabbi Shira Stutman, hosts of the Chutzpod podcast, about the need for Lipstadt’s confirmation, the importance of advocacy and how you can help with the push for her confirmation.

Lipstadt is a pillar of the Jewish community and one of the world’s leading historians on antisemitism. She fought, and won, a landmark legal battle against a Holocaust denier. She is an eminently qualified and distinguished scholar who knows that if we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. With increased antisemitism, including the recent Colleyville, TX hostage crisis, the need for an anti-Semitism envoy has never been more vital.

We’ll walk you through how to call a Senator and discuss how your call to support her confirmation on this Day of Action can make a real difference and shows your commitment to speaking out against antisemitism in the United States and around the world.

We want you to be part of the conversation, so please bring your questions for the Q&A segment.
