John, you won’t want to miss an important CNN special report, “Rising Hate: Antisemitism in America,” that’s coming up this Sunday night at 9 pm ET/PT. The CNN report examines how antisemitism is flowing from fringe groups and obscure chat rooms into the mainstream.

Their team was the first crew of journalists invited to document the groundbreaking work going on in our brand-new ADL Investigative Research Lab. CNN Anchor Dana Bash and her crew spent extensive time with ADL Center on Extremism VP Oren Segal and our experts to witness how we track and monitor the activity of extremists.

I sat down with Dana to talk at length about the many ways that antisemitism is manifesting across the United States, whether from neo-Nazis and white supremacists on the far right or radical anti-Zionist activists on the far left.

She also joined the ADL Center for Technology and Society’s Daniel Kelley for a demonstration on how extremists are using gaming platforms such as Roblox and Minecraft as gateways to broadcast their message of hate to a younger audience. This is a unique space that ADL has expertise in, and I am glad CNN is shining a light on the problem of antisemitism and extremism in gaming.

While we don’t know which elements of our extensive conversations with CNN will make their way into the hour-long special report, I’m confident that ADL’s work in the Good Fight will be a key element in this primetime look into how antisemitism continues to find an alarming footing in American society.

I hope you’ll join me and the ADL team in watching the CNN report on Sunday night!

AIRING: Sunday, August 21st at 9 pm ET/PT on CNN, CNN.com and CNN apps.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Greenblatt

CEO and National Director
