Partnerships
For more than 100 years, ADL has made a deeper impact thanks to valued partners whose shared vision and contributions have helped bolster our ongoing fight against antisemitism, extremism and hate.
Jewish Communal Partners
We have joined forces with partners in the Jewish community to integrate our collective expertise and resources. Working together, we are able to better raise awareness, educate and provide tools to respond to antisemitic incidents, and advocate for safer, more just communities.
Some of our collaborations in the Jewish community include participants in our Kulanu program, campus organizations and Jewish communal organizations.
Kulanu
Kulanu, Hebrew for "all of us," is ADL's national synagogue engagement program, empowering congregations to address antisemitism through education, community engagement and advocacy with insight from ADL experts, resources and a network of congregations nationwide.
Campus
In partnership with campus groups such as Hillel International and Greek life organizations, ADL calls on administrators to counter antisemitism and change the campus climate. It is essential that schools across the country commit to ensuring a safe, equitable and harassment-free environment where all students can thrive.
Jewish Communal Organizations
ADL works with the Jewish community across the country and abroad. We work together to track antisemitic incidents, call out hate wherever it occurs and build a more secure and safe environment for the Jewish community.
If you are a Jewish organization interested in partnering with ADL, please contact us at jewishpartnerships@adl.org.
Civil Society Partners
By fostering new and continued partnerships, and forming and joining coalitions, we amplify our voices and maximize our impact. We are proud to be an ally to other communities and civil society organizations. Together, our initiatives have greater impact as our collective strength raises awareness and empowers advocates to fight hate for good.
Project CODE
Political violence poses a threat not only to our democratic institutions but to the marginalized communities that are vital to the fabric of our nation’s diverse thoughts, values and ideals. ADL and the National Urban League are conveners for change in this area and have built a coalition with organizations to take collective action and help protect communities who are at risk.
The Community Solidarity & Safety Coalition (CSSC)
CSSC serves as a nonpartisan leadership forum to coordinate on critical community solidarity and safety issues in the face of threats from domestic violent extremist movements. CSSC comprises of organizations focused on ensuring protections for community-based and nonprofit organizations, houses of worship and educational spaces.
UnmaskHateNY
ADL, in partnership with the National Urban League and other civil rights leaders, faith leaders and advocates, has launched a campaign to support lawmakers as they work to reinstate and improve a law to address masked harassment and intimidation in New York. In many states across the country, such laws were initially designed to counter the tactics of the Ku Klux Klan, whose members donned hoods and robes to target Black people and other minorities during their reign of terror.
Hate Crimes
As a trusted resource on hate crime laws and policies, we provide support to targeted communities and share best practices for how lawmakers and other key stakeholders can respond most effectively. We also work in coalitions in states advocating for more inclusive hate crime laws that protect all communities.
Corporate Partners and the Business Community
Without the generous support from our corporate partners, our work would not reach the same heights. We are grateful for the high level of commitment our corporate partners have demonstrated toward the fight against hate of all kinds.
Through our work with the business community, ADL has advised companies from a range of industries, from technology and media to hospitality to construction and real estate, on how to deal with hate on their platforms and in their workplaces.

Sports & Entertainment Industry
ADL established the Sports Leadership Council and the Entertainment Leadership Council to create a group of leaders in their fields to join us in the fight against antisemitism and all forms of hate.
ADL Sports Leadership Council (SLC)
The ADL Sports Leadership Council (SLC) engages sports leaders to promote social justice and impact positive change. The SLC supports the sports community’s efforts to build bridges of understanding, unity and respect, and works directly with leagues, teams, owners, schools and communities to achieve meaningful progress on today’s biggest social issues.
ADL Entertainment Leadership Council (ELC)
The ADL Entertainment Leadership Council (ELC) is a group of top executives, creatives and decision-makers spanning film, television, music and media who have come together to meet the challenge of rising antisemitism, hate and violence in society. The goal of the ELC is to harness the power of Hollywood to help advance ADL’s mission.
ADL Media & Entertainment Institute (MEI)
The ADL Media & Entertainment Institute (MEI) engages, educates and impacts entertainment, media and related industries to promote more diverse and nuanced representations of Jewish people and understanding of antisemitism. With partnerships, MEI has expanded its reach such as with the creation of two curated film lists developed with Common Sense Media. The lists promote understanding, appreciation and diversity through cinema that reflects Jewish life and the profound narratives of the Holocaust.
U.S. Government
ADL works with local, state and federal government offices to advocate against antisemitism and hate and for social justice. For example, we joined forces with the U.S. Conference of Mayors to form the Mayors’ Compact Against Hate, Extremism and Bigotry in the wake of devastating instances of hate and violent extremism in cities like Buffalo, Atlanta, El Paso, Pittsburgh, Charlottesville, Charleston and many more.
Law Enforcement
An important component of ADL’s work fighting antisemitism and all forms of hate involves working closely with law enforcement to assist them in protecting communities from extremism and hate. We provide federal, state and local law enforcement with critical resources and expertise on topics which include extremism, antisemitism and hate crimes.
Our partnership with law enforcement dates back to nearly a century. It was ADL’s expertise on extremism that first led law enforcement to ask ADL for help in addressing the threat posed by pro-Nazi organizations in the early 1940s.
