Dear John,

Today marks two years since violent extremists stormed our nation’s Capitol intent on sowing chaos and subverting the democratic process of certifying the presidential election. On January 8, 2021 — two days after that deadly attack — ADL called on Congress to launch a bipartisan commission to investigate what happened on January 6, as well as in the days and weeks leading up to the insurrection, in order to hold those who sought to undermine our democracy accountable and ensure this never happens again.

Two weeks ago, the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol released its

findings confirming what ADL has long warned: that extremist groups and individuals, fueled by former President Trump’s false claims of a stolen election, embrace of extremists, and incitement to action, converged on the Capitol alongside thousands of others in a violent attack on our democracy. This marked the first time an American president refused his constitutional duty to peacefully transfer power.

We deeply appreciate the Committee’s tireless and diligent work under the exemplary leadership of Chairman Bennie Thompson and Vice Chairwoman Liz Cheney. And we are proud of the part we at ADL played in aiding the investigation — ADL is cited several times by the Committee — and responding to the attack, which could only happen thanks to supporters like you.

In addition to submitting

written testimony to the committee from experts in the

ADL Center on Extremism, ADL offered recommendations to both the

Justice Department and

Congress in the wake of the attack.

Further, ADL offered a comprehensive policy agenda and recommendations, the

PROTECT Plan, to mitigate the threat of domestic terrorism while protecting civil liberties, calling for a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach.

ADL is also serving as

co-counsel in a federal lawsuit by the District of Columbia to hold the

Proud Boys and
[link removed]
Oath Keepers accountable for the role they played in planning and carrying out the January 6 attack.

After two years, the reverberations of that day continue to echo throughout our country, which is experiencing escalating incidents of antisemitism, extremism, and hate. Misinformation, conspiracy theories and extremist rhetoric all continue to pose a threat to Jews and other vulnerable communities, and to our democracy. The fight is not over.

Take action in your community and stay informed with these ADL resources, reports, updates and tools.
