Dear John,

Last night, ADL celebrated its 28th Annual ADL In Concert Against Hate. Through the stories of our honorees, we witnessed the power of hope – and the ability of ordinary people to make an extraordinary difference in the fight against hate. We were inspired by the beautiful music of the National Symphony Orchestra and our talented roster of hosts and performers: Beanie Feldstein, Amber Iman, Christopher Jackson, Samara Joy, Sam Primack, Ruben Studdard, and Nina Totenberg. Check out some photos from the event on our Twitter feed! 

We are incredibly grateful to our generous sponsors who made the Concert possible, enabling us to share the beautiful stories of our inspiring honorees. 

We continue to face increasingly challenging times, with threats to our democracy and an alarming rise in antisemitic and bias incidents. ADL’s work has never been more relevant – or more necessary. And without your support, we would not be able to do the powerful investigative work of our Center on Extremism and Center on Technology and Society; the game-changing research of our Center on Antisemitism Research; the impactful education programs like No Place for Hate and Echoes and Reflections; and the nationwide advocacy work we do in support of hate crimes legislation, civil rights, voting rights, LGBTQ+ advocacy, and so much more. 

None of this would be possible without people like you, who understand that in order to create the kind of world we want for our children, we must all play a role. Please support ADL with a year-end gift and help us make that dream a reality. 

With your support, we can fight back against the rising tide of antisemitism, bigotry, and hate that we are witnessing today. Join us, and together we can harness the power of hope to create a better future and fight hate for good. 

With appreciation, 

Meredith R. Weisel
