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.
