ADL works to prevent people from being targeted because of their religion, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin or level of ability. But we cannot do it alone. We need your help as, together, we work toward making our communities, country and world a safer place for all.

Here are some of our resources and services.

K-12 Schools
ADL Education staff work with regional teams to assess and support comprehensive responses to reported K-12 school-based incidents, drawing on extensive knowledge of school needs and cultures. As part of a response, ADL Education offers educational programs and resources to address antisemitism and all forms of hate for full-school communities.

Workplace
We work with businesses and organizations of all types to provide antisemitism education programming and resources to help workplaces create inclusive spaces where all employees can thrive.

Jewish Congregational Communities
ADL offers Kulanu, an eight-month program dedicated to empowering congregations to address antisemitism and hate in their communities through education, community engagement and advocacy.

Legal Help
For incidents that raise civil rights or specific legal issues, ADL’s legal team provides strategic advice and guidance to our regional offices regarding whether and how to engage in advocacy on behalf of the person reporting the incident.

For K-12 and Campus students whose incident is antisemitic in nature, we also provide these resources: (1) K-12 Antisemitism Legal Line, reviewed by ADL and external legal partners (California only pilot helpline) and (2) Campus Antisemitism Legal Line (CALL).

We analyze the data and track trends in antisemitic and hate incidents in U.S. schools, universities, workplaces, the society at large and in online spaces. The data helps to (a) inform our work, (b) craft better advocacy and (c) build tools and services to counter antisemitism and hate, nationally and regionally.

We also share data and trends with the public through various reports and publications.

If this is an emergency, or you are in danger, please dial 911.

ADL works closely with federal, state and local law enforcement to assist them in protecting communities from antisemitism, extremism and hate.

Since the start of ADL in 1913, members of Jewish communities and many other constituents have reported to ADL on incidents of antisemitism, hate and discrimination.

It is sometimes difficult to provide a resolution for someone experiencing or witnessing an incident of hate if a precedent has not been established or sufficient data has not been reported and gathered. Reporting incidents provides ADL an opportunity to gather data, identify trends, gain insights and use this information to develop ways to help communities across the United States, educate lawmakers and law enforcement and advocate for stronger protections from incidents and crimes. For example, with a rise of "fliering" incidents in Georgia, in which hate groups distributed flyers designed to spread antisemitism and threaten the Jewish community and other marginalized communities, the ADL regional team and the ADL Southern Policy team worked with a diverse group of local officials to develop and pass municipal ordinances banning the practice and preventing the spread of hate in the community.

If the incident took place in or at school, ADL staff may communicate directly with your school’s administration with a focus on ensuring that any bullying or bias behavior is stopped and that you are supported.

If your incident is antisemitic in nature and you need legal help, your parent or legal guardian can use this K-12 Antisemitism Legal Line, reviewed by ADL and external legal partners (CA, MA and NY only pilot helpline).

Yes. You can report an antisemitic, bias or discriminatory incident you have experienced or witnessed on your college campus.

When an incident is reported, ADL staff will review and analyze the report and may reach out to the constituent to gather more information when needed. Depending on ADL's analysis and on what assistance (if any) the constituent is seeking, ADL may reach out to the constituent to provide resources, help empower the constituent in their own advocacy, or engage in advocacy in support of the constituent.
