MESSAGE FROM THE REGIONAL OFFICE

At a time of rising hate incidents and hate crimes locally, nationally and globally, ADL is there—constantly
fighting prejudice and bigotry. The work is hard, with tough challenges, but we understand the necessity
and importance of our mission, now more than ever.

Local and national events brought unprecedented attention to ADL’s work this year, and our impact
across eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey and Delaware expanded greatly. We provided
significant trainings for students, educators, families, corporations, law enforcement officials and others,
strengthening our communities even as some sought to divide us. With our dedicated staff and lay
leaders, we formed important partnerships and led programs, projects and initiatives across the region.

Our work has further laid the foundation for future success in combating hate and injustice. We know
that the world will continue to change and challenge us. We will be there, as we have for 105 years,
consistently pursuing our vital mission “to secure justice and fair treatment to all.” We deeply appreciate
your support and commitment to ADL’s work. Thank you.

Sincerely,

ALAN B. GUBERNICK

Board Chair

FIGHTING HATE

ADL’s Work in the Aftermath of Pittsburgh Fighting Hate

In October, Americans witnessed the single deadliest act of anti-Semitism in U.S.
history. The unspeakable violence and hatred on display at the Tree of Life Synagogue
in Pittsburgh claimed the lives of 11 Jews and injured seven others, and its impact
reverberated across the nation and around the world.

ADL worked tirelessly with law enforcement, elected officials, educators and the
general community to respond to this horrific and heartbreaking tragedy.

Within hours of the attack, ADL’s Center on Extremism provided critical expertise and insight to assist law
enforcement with their investigation.
ADL coordinated with local law enforcement to increase police presence at Jewish institutions across the region.
Local elected officials reached out to ADL for information and advice as they crafted their responses to the shooting.
ADL spoke at 10 vigils across eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey and Delaware, and over 200 rallies
nationwide.
ADL developed educational resources to support educators and family members as they discussed the tragedy
with young children. These materials impacted hundreds of thousands of students in the region.
Together with our law enforcement partners, we convened a security conference for religious institutions in
the region.

Youth Leadership Conference

Over 500 students and educators from 53 schools in
the region came together at ADL’s 12th Annual Youth
Leadership Conference: Exploring Diversity, Challenging
Hate on December 4th at the Pennsylvania Convention
Center. The conference brought together hundreds
of students and educators from high schools around
the region to learn about issues of diversity and
discrimination. Students and staff used the resources they
acquired at the conference to challenge bias and bullying
in their schools.

The conference featured Holocaust survivor Charles
Middleberg. “Our number-one goal is to inspire people to
become allies rather than silent bystanders,” said Randi
Boyette. “During the Holocaust, Charles Middleberg’s life
was saved by people who actively chose to help, even
at the risk of their own lives. And although we are living
in different times, we do believe that his testimony will
encourage students and educators to act as allies to
those who are being targeted in their own schools
and communities.”

CENTER FOR
TECHNOLOGY
& SOCIETY

CTS

The Center For Technology and Society (CTS) Belfer Fellow Sam Wooley published
a groundbreaking paper showing that in the runup to the 2018 midterm elections,
nearly 30% of anti-Semitic comments among the 7.5 million tweets he analyzed
on Twitter were generated by “bots” rather than humans. This suggests the
possibility that individuals were, and are, engaging in campaigns to exploit anti-
Semitic sentiment.

Anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and anti-immigrant
sentiments have exploded over the past year and social
media and the growing number of online platforms have
given this hatred an easy path to its targets.

CTS employs leading technology and seasoned experts
to understand the root causes of hateful speech and to
combat harassment across the Internet. Headquartered
in the heart of Silicon Valley, the Center examines the
issues globally—since platforms have no borders—and
brings a proactive approach to fighting cyberhate.

Backed by ADL’s unparalleled global experience in
educating, legislating and responding to hate and
extremism, the Center has emerged as an independent,
expert partner to the tech industry, civil society, academia
and government to reduce hate online and realize the
promise of technology to bridge divides.

ADVOCACY/
CIVIL RIGHTS

In the face of rising threats to hard-won civil rights progress, ADL remained on the Advocacy/
front lines fighting bigotry, discrimination, and hate, promoting immigrant and refugee Civil Rights
rights and safeguarding the separation of church and state.

• ADL testified before Congress on hate on
campus and before the U.S. Commission on
Civil Rights on civil rights law enforcement and
on the federal government’s role in responding
to hate crimes, and submitted formal
statements objecting to the inclusion of a
question about citizenship in the 2020 Census
and addressing concerns about terrorist use of
social media.

• ADL filed 23 amicus briefs in the courts,
including one in Trump v. Hawaii, in which we
led a coalition of six Jewish organizations
using our unique moral voice to passionately
argue against the so-called Muslim ban, citing
three historical examples when our nation later
recognized that we were wrong to turn our
back, including denying refuge to Jews fleeing
the Nazis.

• ADL advocated for legislation protecting
religiously-affiliated institutions, securing
justice for victims of lynching, and addressing
bias in the criminal justice system.

• ADL joined with coalition partners to advocate
for enhanced civil rights protections in
numerous occasions at the federal, state
and local levels, including a trip to the
Mexican-American border with other Jewish
organizations to highlight concerns about
mistreatment of immigrants and refugees.

“I was absolutely sickened by the despicable display of bigotry we saw down in

here in Philadelphia as we bring communities together to fight back against hate in

— Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney

At a press conference held at Philadelphia City Hall
with remarks by Mayor Jim Kenney, ADL announced the
creation of the Black-Jewish Alliance of the ADL. “Our
goal was to build an active relationship between Black
and Jewish communities in the Philadelphia region—a
relationship founded on trust, transparency and shared
understanding,” said Stoddart, who serves as co-chair
of the Alliance. “We are committed to be allies and to
stand together against the twin sins of racism and
anti-Semitism.”

The Alliance has partnered with local houses of worship to
pilot a series of conversations called Sharing Our Stories;
Sharing Ourselves. The goal of these conversations is
to help people understand the day-to-day experiences of
one another. These conversations have had a profound
effect on both the people telling the stories and the people
hearing them.
