John, please join us today at 2 pm ET / 11 am PT for an important edition of ADL’s Fighting Hate from Home webinar series as part of a Day of Action to urge 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.

Thanks in part to our collective efforts, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee finally held a hearing on her nomination. To ensure the Committee votes to send her nomination to the full Senate, we need to reach out to all Senators to make clear that this is a priority as we fight against rising antisemitism. Following a vote in committee, the full Senate will vote on whether to confirm her.

You and every other member of the ADL community across the country can play a vital role in calling for bipartisan support for her confirmation by making sure your Senators know how important the global fight against antisemitism is.

Today, on this Day of Action, we ask you to speak up for Dr. Lipstadt and against antisemitism. Ready to tell your Senators now? Go to our Day of Action page and click “Contact My Senators.”

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

Dr. 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 in the U.S. and across the globe, the need for an antisemitism envoy has never been more vital.

We’ll walk you through how to contact your Senators and discuss how your call to support Dr. Lipstadt’s confirmation on this Day of Action can make a real difference and will demonstrate your commitment to speaking out against antisemitism.

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